Fort Lauderdale Uncontested Divorce Lawyers
In an estimated 95 percent of all divorces in the United States, both spouses in the marriage are able to come to terms on a divorce settlement without court intervention. Working together to reach a settlement is a process known as uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce will save time and money as well as avoid the stress and animosity of litigation.
Individuals wishing to enter an uncontested divorce will still need experienced lawyers to handle their case. If you and your spouse are headed toward divorce, contact the Fort Lauderdale uncontested divorce lawyers of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. at 954-580-8080 for more information.
The Uncontested Divorce Process
When a couple decides to get divorced, both spouses should hire lawyers to represent them. In most cases, the lawyers will advise the spouses to consider an uncontested divorce, as they tend to be faster and less expensive. Attorneys are still important to advise you of your rights as well as the range of possibilities that cover the way a judge might rule on an issue.
An experienced Fort Lauderdale uncontested divorce lawyer can also help you avoid traps that may delay or derail your uncontested divorce. For example, parents may not agree to a waiver of child support so including such a provision in your marital settlement agreement, which embodies your resolution of the issues in your divorce, will delay the process. Sometimes parties to a divorce who do not realize that child support cannot be waived will do so and give something in terms of property or debt division for the waiver.
Another example of the limits on the abilities of parties to a marital settlement agreement in developing a global settlement includes trying to create child support orders that are “unmodifiable.” A court may always make changes to child support in the best interest of your children upon a motion for modification supported by a material change in circumstances. These are just a couple examples of the risk associated with trying to settle an uncontested divorce without a knowledgeable Fort Lauderdale family law attorney to advise you, to evaluate proposed resolutions and to draft your marital settlement agreement. If you have an attorney to provide advice and guidance, it will help you avoid “litigation traps” like these.
