What Is A Simplified Divorce?
Simplified divorce, also known as a simplified dissolution of marriage, is one option couples in Florida have when filing for divorce. This process allows you and your soon to be ex-spouse to bypass the main divorce process as long as both of you have an agreement as to how you’re going to divide your property and meet a set of requirements:
- Both you and your spouse must have lived in Florida for six months or longer
- Both you and your spouse must agree that the marriage cannot be saved
- You can neither have any minor dependent children nor be pregnant at the time you are filing for divorce
- You and your spouse must have worked out how property will be divided
- Neither you nor your spouse may seek alimony
- Both you and your spouse must complete a property settlement agreement and a Financial Affidavit declaring all finances and property, even if neither you nor your spouse possesses any property
- Both you and your spouse must attend the final divorce hearing
While you may feel like you don’t need to hire an attorney to assist you with a simplified divorce, you still need to work out how your property will be divided ahead of time, and it may be in your best interest to have experienced legal assistance to ensure that you aren’t left on the wrong side of a bad deal.
