Types of Divorce in FloridaGenerally speaking, most divorces in the state are either uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce is one in which both spouses agree on all of the issues which may include spousal support, division of marital property and other assets, child sharing, visitation, investments, division of debts, and other matters. In this situation, you and your spouse can come to an agreement without intervention by the court. If this is your goal, a skilled divorce lawyer can help speed things along so that you can get back on with life and put an unpleasant ordeal behind you. In other cases in which spouses cannot agree on the issues, the divorce is considered a contested divorce. In this case, mediation is often helpful, as a neutral third party provides guidance and insight to make resolution of any unresolved issues easier. However, there are circumstances in which it may be necessary to go to trial and have the judge make the decision when spouses cannot come to an agreement on some or all of the issues.
Unfortunately, some divorces can become quite contentious; this is particularly true in cases when spouses have substantial financial assets, real estate, investments, a business, or even a prenuptial agreement. The fact is, even though a divorce proceeding may start out peacefully, it may not continue to be quite so amicable. It is important to select a Maitland divorce lawyer who will keep your needs, interests, and rights first and foremost, and work to ensure the best possible result.
