When and how the marital home was acquired will be a major factor in determining who gets the marital home temporarily and permanently.</p> 308<p><strong>What is Exclusive Use and Possession?</strong></p> 309<p>Exclusive use and possession refers to one party receiving permission to use the home for their own purposes. Conditions are frequently provided for, as well. A frequent condition to receiving exclusive use and possession of a home is typically connected with paying the mortgage or other household bills. This sometimes occurs initially after holding a temporary needs hearing or a domestic violence injunction hearing. The most expedient, but not necessarily recommended way that a spouse can obtain exclusive use and possession of a home is through a domestic violence case. Using a domestic violence case to obtain exclusive use and possession should only be pursued when it involves a Petitioner that has been the victim of domestic violence. In other words, a petition for injunction should only be filed when actually necessary to stop or prevent violence. Where domestic violence is not an issue, a temporary needs hearing would be the best vehicle to obtain a temporary order to decide who stays in the home temporarily. The author has seen a number of occasions where both parties shared the home while they waited for a final hearing because neither party had a good option to leave. This is not recommended, as it is natural for hostility to build between two partis going through a divorce.</p> 310<div class="read_more_link"><a href="https://www.jacksonvilledivorceattorneyblog.com/who-gets-the-home-in-a-florida-divorce/" title="Continue Reading Who Gets the Home in a Florida Divorce?" class="more-link">Continue reading</a></div> 311 </div> 312 </div> 313 <footer> 314 <div class="author vcard">by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope><a href="https://www.jacksonvillelawyer.pro/about-the-firm.html" class="url fn author-jacksonvillelawyer2 author-2804 post-author-link" rel="author" target="_self" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Neil Weinreb</span></a></span></div> <div itemprop="publisher" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope> 315 <meta itemprop="name" content="Law Office of David M.

If you really do not want a divorce you should answer the Petition for Dissolution by alleging you do not believe the marriage is irretrievably broken. Florida Statute §61.052(2)(b)1 allows you to request the Court to Order you and your spouse to marriage counseling.  It is rarely done and there are specific requirements that must be met. Your <a href="https://www.jacksonvillelawyer.pro/family-law.html">Jacksonville Family Lawyer</a> can assist you in understanding this law and representing you in Court.</p> 623<p>In order for a spouse to utilize this statute, the parties must have a child together. If the Court grants the request for marriage counseling, psychiatrist, priest, minister, rabbi, or any other professional the divorce will be placed on hold for approximately three months to allow the counseling to take place. Florida Statute §61.052(2)(b)2 allows the Court to continue the proceedings for a reasonable length of time not to exceed 3 months, to enable the parties themselves to effect a reconciliation. During any period of continuance, the Court has jurisdiction to make appropriate orders for the support and alimony of the parties; a parenting plan, support, maintenance, and education of any minor children of the marriage; attorneyâs fees; and the preservation of the property of the parties. Consult your <a href="https://www.jacksonvillelawyer.pro/family-law.html">Jacksonville Family Lawyer</a> for assistance with your case.</p> 624<p>As previously stated, the above statute is rarely used. This is because if one person wants to end the marriage, counseling is usually not effective. By the time a person has made the decision to start the divorce process, they have usually given it a lot of thought and intend to go through with it.</p> 625<div class="read_more_link"><a href="https://www.jacksonvilledivorceattorneyblog.com/what-happens-if-one-spouse-does-not-want-a-divorce/" title="Continue Reading WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE SPOUSE DOES NOT WANT A DIVORCE?" class="more-link">Continue reading</a></div> 626 </div> 627 </div> 628 <footer> 629 <div class="author vcard">by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope><span class="fn author-jacksonvillelawyer5 author-2927 post-author-name" itemprop="name">Law Office of David M.
