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.
Representing Clients Throughout the Beach Cities Area, Including Ponte Vedra Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach
Our dedicated divorce lawyers realize that every divorce is different. From relatively simple to highly complex, we have the experience you need to reach a resolution as quickly as possible. We look not only at your current situation, but also what best serves your future, both personally and financially. Avoiding a divorce trial is advantageous in most situations, so we prioritize first attempting to come to an agreement out of court. If that is not possible, we will aggressively represent you before the judge at trial.
At The Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A, we understand divorce can be traumatic and emotionally charged. The sooner both parties can move forward, the better. Trust us to guide you through each step with care and dedication.

Jason is a fantastic attorney. He has been our attorney for years. He was highly recommended to me and I'm so glad he was. I can call him ANYTIME and he will talk with me. If you are in need of an attorney, you won't go wrong with Jason.- Terrell H.

Jason Porter has helped me on two separate occasions and both times his attention to detail really impressed me. His staff is wonderful and easy to work with. The second time I worked with Jason Porter, he turned what I thought was a hopeless situation into a miracle. He literally got me my life back by getting the charges reduced. His experience as a trial lawyer came in handy when he had to work with the district attorney to change the judge's mind on my case. Jason Porter has a calming demeanor and he instilled confidence when going over the details of my case. I tended to be pessimistic, but Jason Porter would always reassure me and keep me positive. I will never be able to thank Jason Porter enough for all that he has done for me and my family. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do I know I can count on Jason Porter to give me my best chance at a favorable outcome.- Michael C.

Over the past month or so I had made a call to the Law offices of Jason Porter because I needed to resolve an issue that occurred over 7 years ago. Once I explained the situation the secretary sent me directly to Jonathan Thacher. All I can say is that Thacher did an amazing job handling my case and I am extremely happy right now. I no longer have to worry about that problem ever again thanks to Thacher. The work was effective and everything went through perfectly. Thank you so much man you really took years of stress off my shoulder and I can finally have clarity in my mind.- Joshua S.
