SIMPLIFIED DIVORCE


Want a simple and fast(er) way to get a divorce? In certain circumstances you and your spouse may be eligible for what’s called a “Simplified Divorce”. What you may think of as a mythical unicorn, the Florida Rules of Family Law Procedure do provide for a simpler way. While the process can be quick and easy, certain circumstances and requirements must be met.

Governed by Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.105, the couple must meet the following criteria;

  1. Both parties agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and both want the divorce;
  2. There are no minor or dependent children of the marriage, and the Wife is not pregnant;
  3. The parties have come to an agreement as to the division of all marital assets, and the division of all debts;
  4. Neither party is seeking spousal support (alimony)
  5. Neither party is seeking attorney fees
  6. Both parties understand they are giving up their right to a trial and appeal
  7. Both parties understand that they must appear at a short final hearing before a family law judge;
  8. Both parties sign, swear and affirm the joint Simplified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.
