An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which both spouses agree on all the issues that have to be resolved before a judge will sign off on a divorce agreement. Uncontested divorces are generally quicker and more inexpensive than a divorce in which the spouses cannot come to an agreement; attorneys' fees are lower, no expert witnesses on financial or child-rearing matters are necessary, and both parties can move on with their lives in a shorter time frame.
The Law Office of Cohen & Storie charges a very reasonable flat rate to handle uncontested divorces, which can be completed in as little as 30 days.
Can We Both Use the Same Lawyer for an Uncontested Divorce?
Attorneys in Florida cannot represent both parties in a divorce. However, it is possible for one spouse to choose to not be represented by a lawyer. In such cases, our office represents only one spouse, and while the other spouse is not required to hire their own attorney, they have the option of doing so.
What Should I Do if I've Been Served With Divorce Papers?
If you have been served with a divorce petition, you have only 20 days to file a formal response with the court. If you do not file a response within 20 days, then a default judgment may be entered against you.
In a default judgment, your spouse will be granted everything requested in the divorce petition — as relates to the division of property. If children are involved, however, the default judgment cannot affect decisions about child custody and child support. Even if you fail to file a response to a divorce petition and have a default judgment entered against you, it does not mean that you will lose custody of your children.
