Jacksonville Beach Divorce Serving Families Throughout Jacksonville For Over 25 Years

Jacksonville Beach Divorce Attorney

The decision to divorce – “Dissolution of Marriage” in Florida – often comes after months, sometimes years, of contemplation, discussion and attempts to resolve differences. Once the decision is made, you can trust our Jacksonville Beach divorce lawyers at The Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A to represent you with integrity and compassion.

Divorce in Florida

Florida is a no-fault divorce state. Some states require fault grounds, such as adultery or drug abuse, but Florida has no such requirement. A spouse only needs to say that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The state’s residency requirement also stipulates that at least one party be a Florida resident for six months prior to filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is generally less stressful, costs less and concludes quicker than a contested divorce. A divorce is uncontested when both spouses agree on all terms of the divorce. Even in uncontested divorce, we will guide you through the process and make sure all aspects are addressed in the divorce agreement. A Marital Settlement Agreement is presented to the court for approval. Uncontested divorce can be finalized quickly, usually in less than a few months, and does not require your presence in court.

    "Nicely Done! Success has been reached!"
    Many times when you meet attorneys to represent you, there are thoughts that reside in the back of your head...some good and some bad. "Are these guys REALLY going to help me," or "do they REALLY have my best interest," or "can I really trust them?" Those are the many thoughts, plus more, that I had--it did go away after my first initial visit with one of the attorney's at Jason's Porter's law office. For my case, I worked with two different attorneys which included Jason Porter himself. Both of those guys were with me 100% from the beginning, in court, after court, late in the evening by phone calls, text, and emails, it was a great experience. What was consistent and what I valued most is that I got to know both of them, what they like to do in their personal time with family, which felt like I could communicate openly and honestly. My case was a criminal case and because of them, I do not have to be viewed as a criminal. I want to share and express my gratitude for how they have helped me so others can choose Jason Porter.

    "I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him!"
    He represented me on a VOP case this year. HE, I and the prosecutor knew it was some bull basically. I was a week away from completing my 10 yrs of probation when they tried to Violate me. Mr porter told me before I even made him my lawyer that he would get this case handled in my favor and that’s exactly what he did ! And got it done in a reasonable time without me having to travel back to Florida being that I was living in NJ ! I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him!

    "Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand."

    When I got into an accident, I didn't think I needed a lawyer. However, everything was so confusing and the insurance company was being very pushy. Once I decided I needed to contact a lawyer, I wasn't sure who to call. On the recommendation of a friend who had used him in the past and had a very good experience, I called Jason Porter. I was given an appointment the next day and it was during that appointment I knew I had contacted the right law firm. Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand. He assured me that I would not need to do anything but to get better and he was right! He and his amazing paralegal handled everything so I didn't have to deal with all of the confusion of the insurance company while trying to heal from the injuries I sustained in the accident. Ultimately my case was settled with the insurance company and I received a very fair settlement. I am hoping I never have to use a lawyer again, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Mr. Porter again.

    "Throughout the whole process, he was responsive and dedicated and he made it seem like I was the only case he was dealing with."
    I recently worked with Jonathan Thacher and am very pleased with the outcome of the case. Throughout the whole process, he was responsive and dedicated and he made it seem like I was the only case he was dealing with. He was on top of getting the necessary measure taken and the end result was outstanding. I would definitely refer anyone to him! Thank you so much, Jonathan!!

    "10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!"
    Jason Porter and Nicole Carlucci are the best attorneys in Jax Beach! Listen, no one wants to hire an attorney, but if you need one- these are the people to call. I was able to schedule a same-day appointment and they were professional, courteous, and provided an excellent outcome to my case. 10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!

    "Jonathan Thacher made me feel like I had someone on my side from beginning to end."
    I am so happy and grateful that I picked Porter!! Jonathan Thacher made me feel like I had someone on my side from beginning to end. He told me he would fight for me, and I am thrilled to say he did just that! I was always able to reach him, and he made sure to reach out to me as well...and that means a lot. I highly recommend The Porter Law Firm to any and everyone who needs legal help! They will fight for you!!! I can say, without a doubt, they have been my "Dream Team" and if I ever need any kind of legal help, I will be calling them again!!!
