Florida abolished fault as a ground for divorce. The official term for divorce in Florida is “dissolution of marriage”, and you don’t need fault as a ground for divorce. Instead, you just need to state under oath that your marriage is “irretrievably broken.”

The no-fault concept in Florida means you no longer have to prove a reason for the divorce, like you have reached the seven year mark and can tap out. I’ve written about the causes of divorce before. The solid, steady, grounding partner now seems rigid and controlling, and the spontaneous, fun-loving partner is overly dramatic. Why? Because your partner did a great job filling those early needs, but now everyone’s needs have changed. The life they’ve built with its rules and routines is no longer working or fits. Then around seven years, one or both partners starts to get restless. While often never directly talked about, the other person in the relationship provides this support. Under this theory, when you first fall in love, you need something in your life to get away from your parents to have stability, to feel important, and cared for.

But sometimes it’s about our intimate relationships. Sometimes we focus on work and career, and other times it is about aging, long-term plans, working through childhood and our relationships with our parents. Then, the stability phase is followed by two to three years of restlessness and transition before settling into the next stage. Researchers have found that we in fact have six to ten years of stability in a relationship. The recent study answers the question why a seven year itch and not a 15 year one. According to the Census Bureau, the average length of first marriages for divorcing couples is around seven years. & 2 p.m.A recent study is shedding some light on the notion of a ‘seven year itch’ leading to divorce.
