A dissolution of marriage in Florida, when handled through a streamlined process designed for uncontested cases, involves less time than a standard divorce proceeding. This expedited process requires both parties to agree on all aspects of the divorce, including property division, child custody, and spousal support. If these conditions are met, the timeline for finalizing the divorce can be significantly reduced.
The advantage of a less complex marital dissolution lies in its efficiency and reduced costs. Avoiding lengthy court battles and extensive discovery processes saves both time and financial resources. Historically, divorces were often protracted and expensive, but simplified procedures aim to make the process more accessible and less emotionally draining for couples who are in agreement.
