Calm doesn’t mean careless. Let’s do this right, with clarity, strategy, and a steady hand. When both spouses agree on the key issues, how to divide property, whether there will be alimony, and how to co-parent (if children are involved), Florida law allows for a more cooperative path: uncontested divorce.

It’s not just “easy” divorce. It’s purposeful resolution, without the courtroom battle.

At Justin Andersson, P.A., we guide families through the entire uncontested divorce process in Florida, ensuring that every detail is handled properly, respectfully, and with the legal thoroughness you still need, even when things are amicable.

Under Florida law, a divorce (called a dissolution of marriage) is considered uncontested when:

• One spouse files for divorce and alleges that the marriage is irretrievably broken
• Both spouses agree on all required issues:
  • Division of assets and debts
  • Spousal support (alimony) — whether it will be paid, how much, and for how long
  • Parental responsibility (custody), timesharing (visitation), and child support, if children are involved
• Both parties are willing to sign all required legal documents voluntarily

When all terms are agreed upon, the process becomes less stressful, less time-consuming, and often requires no in-person court appearance at all — especially when children are not involved.

You may be eligible for uncontested divorce if:

• You or your spouse has lived in Florida for at least 6 months before filing
• You and your spouse are in agreement on:
  • Dividing property and debts
  • Whether either person will receive alimony
  • Parenting responsibilities (if applicable)
• Both spouses are willing to sign and notarize required documents

Note: You cannot proceed as “uncontested” if one spouse refuses to cooperate, refuses to sign, or cannot be located.

The process is usually faster and simpler. If you both agree on property, debts, and spousal support, the case can often proceed without a hearing.

You’ll need a Parenting Plan, Child Support Guidelines Worksheet, and possible court review to ensure the children’s best interests are met. But if you’re aligned on those issues, it can still qualify as uncontested.

Uncontested doesn’t mean “risk-free.” Many couples assume they can do it themselves — but later discover:

• Child support wasn’t calculated according to Florida guidelines
• The property division agreement wasn’t enforceable
• One party later disputes what was “understood”
• Important retirement or deed transfers were left out entirely

We ensure every clause is legally sound, your agreements are fully enforceable, and the court accepts your filings the first time — saving you months of stress later.

Timelines can vary slightly by county, judge, and whether children are involved, but most uncontested divorce cases in Florida resolve in:

• 30–45 days without children
• 45–60 days with children, depending on document review and court processing

We help you move through the system smoothly, without delays caused by improper forms or missing documentation.
