While an uncontested divorce is often faster compared to a contested process, it still requires time for completing paperwork and finalizing agreements. If, during this period, you reconsider the previously agreed terms before signing the final divorce papers, you have the right to reassess and contest those terms. Seeking advice from a seasoned divorce attorney offers valuable support to prevent hasty decisions and make choices that benefit you and your family.

Dwayne BeckfordNo. In Florida, both parents have the right to access their child unless a court order specifies otherwise. Denying the other parent access to their child without a valid legal reason can lead to serious consequences.
An uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree on all major issues, such as division of assets, child custody, and support, eliminating the need for court intervention. Uncontested divorces are typically quicker, less expensive, and involve less stress compared to contested divorces.
If there are disagreements on certain aspects, the divorce can become contested. However, mediation or negotiation can help resolve these issues.
To adopt a child in Florida, you’ll need to complete a home study, file an adoption application, and attend a court hearing. You’ll go through background checks and meet specific requirements.
If you’re a victim of domestic violence, seek immediate help. You can get a protective order from the court to keep you safe. This legal measure can include provisions such as prohibiting the abuser from contacting you, ordering them to leave your home and granting you temporary custody of children.
Guardianship means taking legal responsibility for someone else’s care. You can apply for guardianship for minors or adults who can’t care for themselves. You’ll need to file a petition and attend a court hearing to prove that guardianship is in the best interest of the person.
A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage and outlines how assets and debts will be divided if the marriage ends. A postnuptial agreement is signed after marriage and serves the same purpose.
Spousal support, or alimony, is determined based on various factors including the length of the marriage, the financial need of one spouse, the ability of the other spouse to pay, and the standard of living established during the marriage. Florida courts may award different types of alimony, such as temporary, rehabilitative, or permanent, depending on the circumstances of the case.
If one party refuses to sign, the divorce becomes contested, potentially requiring legal intervention and court resolution.
