Jacksonville Uncontested Divorce Lawyer

What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on marital matters involved in legally ending the marriage. An uncontested divorce is possible if both spouses want the divorce, come to an agreement about child support, child custody, visitation, alimony and division of assets and liabilities.

Even if you and your spouse agree on major issues, however, you still need to ensure that your rights and finances are being protected. You should still retain a lawyer before making any agreements or signing anything. One small error or oversight on your part could lead to serious negative consequences.

At the Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A., we work working closely with our clients in order to fully understand their needs so they can obtain their goals as their marriage comes to an end. On the flip side, if you are experiencing a contested divorce and cannot reach a mutual agreement, we can effectively guide you to a favorable outcome.

The Benefits of a Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative divorce began in the 1990's in Wisconsin – the concept was so popular among divorcing parties that it quickly spread to the west coast and has found its way throughout the nation. Should a couple choose to partake in a collaborative divorce, they will agree to sign what is known as a Participation Agreement. Upon signing this, they (and their attorney) will work with the other side to come to an agreement that is agreed upon by both sides.

By avoiding hearings, depositions and any bitter courtroom battles, both parties can protect both themselves and their families as they find their own way through the divorce process.

To safeguard against the possibility of one of the sides backing out and trying to take the other to court, there is an agreement to find a new attorney should the process fail. While this can be difficult, the benefits can often outweigh any costs.
