In the state of Florida, there are two types of divorces. The first is called an uncontested divorce. In this case, both spouses agree on all issues related to the divorce. This includes the division of marital property, the division of marital debts, and any spousal support.
If you have children involved, you may not be able to go through an uncontested divorce even if you and your spouse agree on how to raise the children moving forward. Things are simply more complicated when there are children involved, and you should always work with a lawyer, regardless of the type of divorce you are getting.
The other type of divorce is a contested divorce. If you cannot agree on everything, you are facing a contested divorce. Even if you can agree on everything except one issue, you are still going through a contested divorce. A contested divorce could end up in court, and you might ask for a judge to decide how to resolve these issues If you disagree on anything, you have a contested divorce.
