Do You Need to Hire a Tampa Uncontested Divorce Lawyer?
You do NOT need to hire a Tampa uncontested divorce attorney, however, it is highly beneficial to do so. An uncontested divorce can turn into a contested divorce should the parties reach an impasse on any one of the matters that must be agreed upon. In an uncontested divorce in Tampa Bay & Florida, all issues must be addressed, agreed upon and finalized via a marital settlement agreement: This includes:
- Equitable distribution of marital property and debt, including separate property if applicable
- Child custody & timesharing
- Child support
- Alimony
- All other divorce requirements set forth by the state of Florida.
How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take?
Every situation and divorce is different but if the parties agree upon the terms of their divorce settlement, a final judgment of dissolution of marriage will be entered soon after filing. This process occurs approximately 30 days after the a case is filed with the clerk. If you opt for no hearing, then you do not have to appear in court and a final judgement will be entered and a copy will be sent to both parties.
