Our Fort Lauderdale family law firm recognizes the value of an amicable divorce that results in the parties avoiding contentious litigation, high conflict custody disputes and protracted hostilities.  Many people that go through divorce remain friendly or at least civil, which can be especially important if a divorcing Florida couple has minor children.  Even when a divorce is amicable, many people fear the prospect of life following divorce.  Nonetheless, a growing number of people are viewing their divorce as a new beginning and throwing a divorce party to celebrate.  Rock celebrity Jack White and his model wife Karen Elson have taken the notion of amicable divorce to a whole new level by announcing they will be throwing a party to celebrate their divorce together on what would have been their sixth wedding anniversary.

While it might be hard to match the amicable nature in one’s breakup exhibited by Jack White and his wife, their attitude is one that will benefit both parents and their two minor children.  Some people simply cannot live together.  Fifty years ago these couples might have been more inclined to remain in a marriage that was genuinely DOA.  While both parents might have been miserable, they may have been inclined to stay together in an unhappy marriage.  Many people are recognizing that while divorce can be a frightening and significant life change it can also mean a constructive new beginning for both spouses.

Parents that are in an unhappy marriage sometimes are both happier and more effective parents following a divorce than when they remain together in an unhappy marriage.  Our Florida divorce lawyers recognize that constructive negotiations and amicable agreements make for stable long-term settlement of divorce and child custody issues.  We view our role in many Florida divorces as guiding couples toward an amicable divorce, which avoids costly divorce litigation and can build a foundation for effective co-parenting.

There are cases where the issues in a divorce are particularly divisive so it is not realistic that a divorce can be resolved through negotiation so contested litigation is necessary.  Our philosophy is to diffuse such costly disputes where feasible rather than add fuel to the flames, which simply increases the cost of our client’s divorce.  The Florida divorce law firm of Eric N.
