Also known as an amicable divorce or a divorce (dissolution) in mutual agreement.
A Florida uncontested divorce is a process can be done when there is an understanding between both parties that the marriage is irrevocably over and there is no chance of reconciling their differences. Spouses are willing and able to get the divorce papers notarized and submitted to our office promptly. This is truly a “leave the drama to your mama” kind of divorce. It can even be done without ever stepping into the courthouse. If you want more information request a quote below.
If this scenario does not fit your situation because there are still fights, anger or you do not know where your ex lives then request a quote below and when asked if the divorce is in mutual agreement choose “no” or choose “I do not know where he/she is” based on your unique situation. Doing this will make sure the system understands what is the right process for your particular situation.
If you get your ex served divorce papers with a sheriff that is not considered an uncontested divorce. This is because we do not know if your ex is not in agreement and files paperwork to contest the divorce. Doing it this way will also require a hearing in front of the judge.
Is this kind of divorce better?
This kind of divorce is considered much more healthy for most individuals with the exception of when the relationship is toxic. If there have been instances of verbal abuse or physical domestic violence an uncontested divorce is not recommended.
Personal Message from Yamil, our main divorce preparer:
If you have experienced verbal abuse or physical domestic violence I highly encourage you to follow your intuition and get the divorce done by getting your ex served and let the chips fall where they may. When requesting a quote from us make sure to select “NO” to the question is the divorce in mutual agreement. There is no point in trying to get a toxic person to agree to let you go amicably. In their eyes you are escaping. If you proceed to try to get the divorce in mutual agreement and give him or her divorce papers hoping they change, I have news for you. They will change for a short period of time. As soon as they see you happy they will go back to their old habits. It’s human nature.
