Marriage Dissolutions
There are two types of Dissolutions of Marriage in Florida:- Regular Dissolution of Marriage: Requires submitting a financial affidavit to the court and in some counties may require a couple to attend mediation. Although the couple is permitted to enter into a written agreement concerning property disposition, if no agreement is reached, a judge will hold a trial and make the final decision on contested issues.
- Simplified Dissolution of Marriage: Certain couples are eligible to dissolve their marriage by way of a simplified procedure. This type of dissolution was designed so the services of an attorney may not be necessary. Couples are responsible, however, for filing all necessary documents correctly, and both parties are required to appear before a judge together when the final dissolution is granted. You can retain an attorney to represent you even in an uncontested matter. The cost for such services is generally much less than in a contested case.
- They both agree to the use of this form of dissolution proceeding
- They have no minor (under 18) or dependent children
- They have no adopted children under the age of 18
- The wife is not pregnant
- At least one of the parties has lived in Florida for the past six months
- The parties have agreed on the division of all of their property (assets) and obligations (debts)
- Neither party is seeking alimony
- Both parties agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken
