In Florida, an uncontested divorce does not require a trial, but you will still need to appear in court before a judge. And when you go before the judge, you must take a Final Decree with you for the judge to sign. The judge will ensure you’ve completed the necessary paperwork within the guidelines of Florida law, and he or she may ask you some basic questions about the information on the forms. However, the judge will not provide legal advice or provide thorough auditing of the paperwork, which is why it’s important to consult with an experienced Florida family law attorney even if your divorce is uncontested.
