Types of Divorce in Florida

Contested Divorce

Contested divorce occurs when one party does not want the divorce to go through or when the elements of divorce cannot be agreed upon. 

Contested divorce cases are typically more complicated and time-consuming than an uncontested divorce. 
This is because the parties must wait to attend the court hearings and may even end up in a full-blown trial. 

How Long Does a Contested Divorce Take in Florida

A contested divorce in Florida can take between six months to a year to come to a resolution.

In a contested divorce, the court will decide issues such as asset division, timesharing, alimony, parental responsibility, and child support.

Who will the children live with? How will the property be divided? Who has to pay child support or spousal support? 

If these issues cannot be resolved, then you will need an aggressive attorney to fight beside you in court and who will submit evidence to support your requests.

In some cases, the parties in a contested divorce are able to settle and agree after just one or two court hearings and the case does not have to go to trial. 

If not, both parties will have to pay trial litigation fees and the divorce will end up costing them more. So if at all possible, try to pursue an uncontested divorce in order to save yourself time and money. By avoiding trial, you may be able to diffuse some emotional tension and the scars of battling it out in court.

Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested divorce occurs when both parties are in agreement as to the terms of divorce and are able to make compromises in order to speed the process along and pursue favorable outcomes for both parties involved. 

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Florida

An uncontested divorce in Florida can take between six weeks and three months.

The process includes the following:

  • A mandatory 20-day waiting period.
  • Court backlogs.
  • Final hearing scheduling issues.
  • Other administrative processes.

Spouses eligible for an uncontested divorce must agree to every detail of the dissolution of marriage, including child support and parenting plans.

With an uncontested divorce, the spouses must agree on every term and condition of their divorce. In an uncontested divorce, the spouses do not necessarily have to be friendly and warm to each other. Still, they can resolve their divorce issues outside of court without the assistance of a judge. 

If mediation becomes necessary, the parties can utilize a neutral third-party member to help them resolve disputes. Once all of the divorce matters are agreed upon, they must be written in what is referred to as the "divorce agreement."

With an uncontested divorce, it would still be wise for both parties to obtain their legal representation to have an assertive legal advocate there to provide guidance and answers. 

Our firm's Broward County divorce lawyer could draft the divorce agreement for you and ensure the proper language is used on the legal forms. 

If you and your spouse drafted the agreement, then it would be in your best interest to have your attorney review the legal contract so that you can feel confident that your rights are fully protected.

It is essential to use a lawyer when pursuing a  quick divorce in Florida. This is because a lawyer can provide valuable guidance and advice on how to go about the process, as well as help ensure that all legal documents are properly completed. 

Furthermore, having a knowledgeable uncontested  divorce attorney on your side can help manage any potential conflict that may arise during negotiations or court proceedings.

Benefits of Uncontested Divorce

One major benefit to filing an uncontested divorce is that you and your spouse have more control over the terms and conditions of the agreement- the issues are not being decided by a judge on your behalf. Once the agreement is drafted, it still needs to be approved by the court. 

The court will then schedule a final hearing date when they will review the proposed agreement and grant the divorce, for which only one spouse has to attend this final hearing.

In the event that one or both spouses are unable to reach an agreement on the terms of their divorce, then they will have to file for a contested divorce. With cases of this nature, emotions are running high and the two parties are unable to agree, so they take the matter to court for a judge to decide upon unresolved family issues.

This is often a more desirable process for both parties involved because issues such as timesharing can be peacefully discussed and decided by the parents instead of a judge.

What Are the Benefits of Divorce Mediation?

You also have more control over the outcome of your case when you limit court involvement and you and your spouse to come to a mutual agreement yourselves. 

In a contested divorce the judge can use their own discretion and they have the authority to make the final decision.

Divorce mediation is an amicable alternative to courtroom litigation and often results in better circumstances for those involved.
