This is the first article in a series which will discuss obtaining a “no fight” divorce in the state of Florida. I am addressing this topic due to the fact that many couples wish to end their marriage and are willing to do so amicably. Going through a streamlined process can save time, money, and aggravation for everyone involved. It is important to note, however, that not everyone may complete their process in this way. I am writing this series, therefore, with the goal of providing information which will help people to better understand their particular situation. It is also my goal to provide information which will assist with the selection of an attorney. If you or a loved one are in need of assistance then contact my office today to speak with a Melbourne lawyer.
I will be addressing multiple topics over my coming articles. Issues which I will analyze include the following:
- When spouses may file for a simplified divorce
- The benefits of utilizing a streamlined process
- Dealing with child custody and visitation
- The benefits of retaining an attorney to assist you
I am addressing these particular topics for multiple reasons. First, in order to end a marriage in this way, the two spouses must be in complete agreement on all issues. Any disagreement, over any issue, will mean that the contested process must be utilized instead. Second, it is common for spouses to gain the same result, which the Court would have granted in a contested case, by simply agreeing to the terms in advance. Third, any divorce will include provisions regarding child custody, child support, and visitation. Finally, retaining an attorney to assist you can help to ensure that the matter is handled correctly.
The last of the aforementioned points will be stressed throughout this series. If the matter is not handled properly then it is quite possible that the spouses will eventually engage in post-divorce litigation. Disputes can involve property that was not properly included in the case, unresolved debts, or other issues. Retaining counsel means that a trained professional will consider all possible issues and it will be their role to ensure that no stone is unturned in resolving the matter.
