Can I sell a house in a divorce in Tallahassee?
Yes. A cash sale gives both spouses one clear number, no showings, and a closing date you can write into the settlement. Both owners on the deed sign, and the title company can hold or split the proceeds as your agreement or court order directs.
For Tallahassee properties, the local steps run through the Leon County Circuit Court (2nd Judicial Circuit) and the Leon County Clerk of Court.
How divorce works in Leon County
The steps below follow Florida statutes and the offices that handle them in Leon County, which includes Tallahassee.
Petition filed
Divorce in Florida is filed in the family division of the Leon County Circuit Court (2nd 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.
