How divorce works in Hillsborough County
Every divorce situation in Hillsborough County follows Florida law. These are the stages and the local offices involved.
Petition filed
Divorce in Florida is filed in the family division of the Hillsborough County Circuit Court (13th Judicial Circuit). Florida requires at least 20 days between filing and final judgment (s. 61.19).
Equitable distribution
Marital assets, including the home, are divided equitably under s. 61.075 — not always 50/50, but fairly.
Decide on the house
One spouse buys out the other, you sell and split, or the court orders a sale if you can't agree.
Sign the contract
Everyone on title signs. If there's a court order, the sale follows it.
Close and split
The title company pays the mortgage and divides the rest exactly as the agreement says.
