Simple Divorce in Mutual Agreement

Divorce Quote

A divorce in Florida in mutual agreement means BOTH parties are 100% ready to do what's needed to get divorced. This is perfect when both parties are in agreement with the divorce, and there are no minor children or joint assets and bills involved. This type of divorce is also considered an uncontested divorce. If your ex changes his or her mind, don’t worry we can still help you get your divorce by getting your ex served divorce documents by a licensed process server or sheriff.

This divorce can be done without a court hearing, you will both receive the final judgement from 30 - 45 days on average.

Simple Divorce by Summons

Divorce Quote

This option is used when there are no minor children or joint assets and bills involved HOWEVER, the other party is not in agreement with the divorce or is incarcerated. In this divorce, the other party will be served divorce papers by a sheriff and will have 20 calendar days to respond to the court in writing. If the other person does not answer, a default must be filed before a hearing is requested. If he/she answers then depending on the answer, a final hearing will be scheduled by the court.

Simple Divorce by Publication

Divorce Quote

This option is for when the whereabouts of the other party are unknown and there are no minor children or pending finances. The court requires a newspaper column to run for 30 consecutive days and to submit proof that you searched for your ex in at least 5 different places. 

Once the divorce documents are filed, then the court will require a publication in a local newspaper which will need to run for 30 days. Once the publication expires then default paperwork will need to be filed and then the judge will sign and mail the final judgement.

Divorce with Property in Agreement (no minor children)

This option is used when the divorce is in mutual agreement but there is property or joint bills to split. This divorce is also appropriate when there is permanent alimony or retirement accounts or other monetary situations. After the case is filed a hearing will be scheduled, or if the county that the case is filed supports no-court hearing divorces then the final judgement will be mailed to both parties along with a copy of the Marital Settlement Agreement.

Divorce with Property by Summons (no minor children)

This option is used when there are no minor or dependent children but with joint property, bills, or other monetary things to consider, such as alimony or retirement accounts. If the other party is not in agreement with the divorce or is incarcerated, then a sheriff must get the divorce documents served to the other party. In this divorce the other party will be served initial divorce papers by a sheriff and will have 20 calendar days to respond to the court in writing. If the other person does not answer, then a default needs to be filed before a hearing is requested. If he/she answers then depending on the answer, a final hearing will be scheduled by the court.

Divorce with Property by Publication (no minor children)

Using this option will allow you to get a divorce after filing the divorce documents with the proof of search, then the publication that must run for 30 days and the default paperwork filed; prior to having the final divorce haring scheduled. What the judge can do to restore your marital property will depend on the nature of the property.

Divorce with Children in Mutual Agreement

This option is used when both parties agree, and there are minor or dependent children in the marriage. This divorce is the most complicated of them all since there are a lot of requirements to fulfill. First, a parenting plan is required, and child support payments calculations need to be made. Child support is a mandatory issue that must be addressed and entered into the Marital Settlement Agreement.

Divorce with Children by Summons

If the other party is uncooperative, incarcerated, or the relationship is toxic, then the sheriff should be serving your ex. In this process, only your documents are presented at the time of filing the case, and then the sheriff or private process server will serve your ex. He/she will have 20 calendar days to respond in writing. If they fail to do so, then Default paperwork will need to be filed. Because there are children, most likely, the court will require that both of you attend mediation and that decisions are made. If he/she does not participate in mediation, then you will most likely get whatever you asked for in the petition at a final hearing.

One of the requirements for every divorce filed in Florida is that one of the parties has lived in Florida for at least the last 6 months, demonstrated with a Florida driver’s license.

 

If you do not have a Florida driver’s license, let us know and we will prepare an Affidavit of Witness for someone that does have a Florida driver’s license older than 6 months can vouch for you.

How Should I Choose a Divorce Preparation Service or Divorce Attorney?

  • 1 – make sure they are based in Florida.
    There are many companies that are not based in Florida offering Florida divorce documents that are available for free in flcourts.org this is ok however every county in Florida is different and may have additional forms required.
    These companies will not figure out what is missing and how to fill it out. We are based in Florida and have worked with most counties.
    If there is anything else required we will figure out what that is and prepare the form.

    2 – are they going to help you file the forms with the court?
    Another issue is that many other companies do not help you file the forms in the court. Their fee may be lower than ours however they do 1/2 the work.

    3 – what if something changes?
    Many divorce preparation companies do not do divorce by summons or missing spouse divorces. If there are changes to the process such as it was going to be in mutual agreement but your ex refuses to sign and now it he/she needs to get served with a summons. We take care of the changes required with no additional fees.

    4 – do they charge monthly fees?
    It is our understanding that some companies are charging a monthly fee if you don’t get your documents finalized within a few months. We do not charge any monthly fees. You can take your time with us.

    5 – do they add their information to the bottom of the divorce forms?
    As non-lawyers any document preparer MUST add their information to the disclosure in the bottom of the forms. We have seen many forms from other companies without their information added and that’s a big concern.

Yamil Francisco made the process easy without a court appearance. She took away the stress, worry and

From start to finish the paperwork was finalized in eight weeks. If a question arose, Yamil was available to

compassion. Thank you so much for making an uneasy situation seamless and simple.

Yamil is amazing. I got my divorce done
without going to court. She made the
process barnacle. It can be an
overwhelming process but Yamil is
amazing. She is not a lawyer but great at
the paperwork end which is what she
does best. Just give her the info and she
will fill them out.
Thank You Yamil
