If you and your spouse are able to agree on all of the terms of the divorce, you may want to consider filing for an uncontested divorce in Florida. An uncontested divorce covers all of the same issues as a contested divorce. However, in an uncontested divorce you and your spouse enter the legal proceedings with an agreement on the terms of the dissolution. An uncontested divorce is beneficial because it helps decrease the level of animosity that a contested divorce can create. In addition, the process of dissolving the marriage can be more efficient and far less expensive than a contested divorce.

Uncontested divorce proceedings in Florida are different than both mediation and collaborative divorce cases. In mediation there is a natural party that provides recommendations and helps spur negotiations. In collaborative and uncontested divorce cases a mediator is not involved. Instead, the couple and their attorneys will work together to provide solutions. There is usually much more cooperation between the parties in collaborative and uncontested divorces than there is in mediation. Furthermore, in uncontested divorce cases the couple is already in agreement on most of the divorce issues. An uncontested divorce lawyer simply helps ensure that all aspects of the divorce have been addressed and that all court procedures have been handled correctly. In a collaborative divorce, there is no existing agreement between the two parties, but the spouses are willing to work together to reach an agreement they can both agree on.
