About
Uncontested Divorce
When both parties involved in a marriage have worked out the important issues pertaining to their divorce without court help, it is considered an uncontested divorce. Uncontested divorce, often called the simple divorce, is very common due to its simplicity and low cost. If a husband and wife can agree on the terms for division of property, child custody and child support issues, then they can usually separate amicably. Even though you and your spouse may be parting on good terms and agreeing on important issues, it is still in your best interest to speak with a Florida divorce attorney.
