You have been asked to write a report for a local community organization. The subject of your report will be "Divorce in Florida from A to Z." Your report will walk the readers through a typical divorce case. Do not simply list all of the applicable laws in the abstract. Instead, describe the law and give concrete examples of every law that you explain. The best way to do this is to present the law in the context of a hypothetical fact situation. Tell your readers that you will present the law by using an example. Here are the facts that you can use for the example: Rita and Paul Smith were married in this state 10 years ago. They have two children, Paul Jr. (age 6) and Helen (age 3). They are in the process of a divorce. Rita wants sole custody of both children. So does Paul. As of the date of the divorce, the parties have a home (bought during the marriage), two cars, five bank accounts, as well as stocks and bonds. The house is in Paul's name only. Both cars are in Rita's name only. Everything else is in their joint names. Paul is a doctor with a high income. He has his own patients. He also is an employee of a hospital where he has an excellent pension. Rita is an accountant. For health reasons, however, she will not be able to return to any kind of work for about six years. Soon, she will have major surgery from which she will need several years to recuperate. In addition to the disagreement over child custody, Rita and Paul also disagree over dividing marital property, and about alimony and child support.Copy this fact situation at the beginning of your report and then tell your readers that you will explain the law by using the facts in this illustration.You will need additional facts about Rita and Paul Smith as you write the report (e.g., what kind of pension does Paul have, whether they have medical insurance). You can make them up so long as they are reasonably consistent with the facts given above.There are seven topics you need to cover in your report on how such a divorce case would be handled in this state:1. the grounds for divorce in Florida2. the great variety of documents that are sometimes involved in divorce cases and the function of each document3. how property is divided between the parties4. spousal support/maintenance5. child support6. child custody7. the enforcement of the divorce decree when one of the parties fails to comply with any part of the decree.
