To obtain an uncontested divorce, both spouses must decide on several factors. The components that constitute an uncontested divorce filing are:
If every single one of these conditions isn’t satisfied, an uncontested divorce cannot be reached. You may both agree on almost every component, but are stuck on one issue. Maybe there are a few components on the above list that are sticking points. Whatever the obstacle, have a Jacksonville uncontested divorce attorney sit down with both spouses and help them to come to a fair resolution. An uncontested divorce is quicker and less costly than a contested one, so it behooves a couple to try for an uncontested divorce. It would be regrettable, if only a few disagreements kept you from that goal.

Once you have agreed on all the components, your uncontested divorce filing must be complete, correctly drawn up, and include all the necessary, court-required documentation.

In custody matters, a child support guideline worksheet is required, along with a parenting plan. The parenting plan must be detailed, including information on visitation, holidays, and time-sharing arrangements.
