Uncontested Divorce and Simplified Divorce

      Fort Lauderdale Divorce Attorney Antonio D. Quinn, Esq. always makes it a priority to minimize the stress and expense associated with going through the dissolution of marriage process.  A simplified dissolution of marriage may in some cases do that that.  Florida family law allows for an expedited process to achieve a dissolution of marriage which is called an uncontested divorce or simplified divorce.  Just as it sounds, for a simplified divorce to take place, both parties need to be in agreement with regard to all of the essential elements of the divorce.  This means that both parties must be able to agree on the division of property, a detailed parenting plan if their are marital children, child support, alimony (if any) and all other relevant matters.  Simplified divorces are usually expedited through the Family court system and saves the parties the stress and expense of conventional divorce proceedings.  Ft. Lauderdale family law attorney Antonio Quinn's office offers free consultations to prospective clients in order to determine if an uncontested divorce is a feasible.  Call today for a free case evaluation.
