Case Overview

The Situation

After eight years of marriage, the couple decided to divorce amicably due to differing long-term goals and lifestyle changes.

They had:

  • Reached mutual agreement on dividing marital assets
  • No disputes over support or custody
  • A shared desire to complete the process quickly
Despite their agreement, they were unsure how to properly:
  • File a simplified dissolution of marriage
  • Comply with Florida’s six-month residency requirement
  • Draft a legally enforceable marital settlement agreement
  • Avoid delays or rejected filings
One spouse also needed certainty around timing due to an upcoming out-of-state job relocation.

Uncontested Divorce Case Study – FAQs

An uncontested divorce in Florida occurs when both spouses agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken and have resolved all major issues, such as property division, debts, and support, without court disputes.

Many uncontested divorces can be finalized in a few months, depending on court scheduling and whether all documents are prepared correctly. Timelines vary by case and county.

While Florida allows self-representation, an attorney can help ensure filings are accurate, agreements are enforceable, and legal requirements—such as residency rules—are fully met, reducing the risk of delays or future issues.

Common issues include incomplete paperwork, unclear settlement terms, failure to address retirement assets properly, and overlooking tax implications. These mistakes can cause delays or create problems later.

Yes. Many uncontested divorce cases are well-suited for flat-fee representation, allowing clients to know their legal costs upfront without hourly billing, as reflected in this case study.
