Filing for Divorce in Florida

In Florida, at any time, any type of divorce can become an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce simply means the parties are in agreement on all issues related to the divorce.

The parties may not qualify for a simplified divorce, maybe because they have children. However, if the parties agree on all issues regarding the divorce and issues related to their children, they can file an uncontested divorce.

In some situations, a divorce matter may move from a contested divorce process to an uncontested divorce process. In the beginning, the parties may not agree on all issues, but later reach a mutual agreement. This occurrence is very common because many couples are able to reach an agreement during court-ordered mediation or negotiating a settlement.

The uncontested divorce process is typically less expensive than a contested divorce. When the parties are in agreement, they may not need to leverage lawyers.

Child Custody in Florida

The question of child custody can arise from different type of situations (divorce, separation of unmarried parent, as a consequence of paternity recognition, etc…). Because this question will determine the child’s everyday life, future, education, as a parent you want to make sure the judge will grant you child custody.

However, the judge main criteria in deciding on child custody is what is in the child’s best interest. To answer that question, courts will consider inter alia, each parents’:

  • home environment
  • capacity to actually take care of the child
  • financial capacity to provide for the child’s needs (clothes, food, medical care)
  • involvement in the child’s education and extra-curricular activities
  • willingness to maintain or facilitate a real relationship between the child and the other parent
  • criminal history, history of domestic violence, physical and/or substance abuse, of negligence of children

When the parents cannot come to an agreement, it is important for each of them to be represented by an experienced attorney who will demonstrate how his client offers an environment that is in the child’s best interest.
