Formalizing an Informal Agreement
If you and your spouse agree on the basic terms of property division and child custody, you can bypass the court dates and expense of a drawn-out contested divorce. But you still should have the papers drawn up or reviewed by a lawyer to ensure you have complied with the rules, and to avoid later legal disputes.
The Law Office of Jeffrey A. Klein can formalize your uncontested divorce and advise on any red flag issues that might result in delays or cause you to be dragged into court. I routinely help clients in Volusia County and Flagler County produce a solid settlement agreement for an amicable divorce. Contact me for a free initial consultation.
Florida Uncontested Divorce
I am Jeffrey Klein, a divorce and family law attorney practicing in the Daytona Beach area. My experience has shown that people who attempt uncontested divorce on their own often overlook important issues and details that come back to haunt them. I will work with you to put your kitchen table agreement in writing regarding: a fair division of assets and debts and the terms of child custody and visitation.
- One of you must have lived in Florida for six months.
- An uncontested divorce settlement must be in writing and notarized.
- The other party must have been properly served or have waived service.
- If children are involved, you must complete a parenting course before you can be divorced.
- If there are no disputed issues, you can be divorced in a matter of days if you have a signed settlement agreement and have complied with certain basic procedural guidelines.
Even when both parties have honest intentions, there are pitfalls to uncontested divorce. My role is to explore issues you may not have considered and protect your interests. Call my Daytona Beach office today at 866-819-6032 to arrange a free consultation.
