Cooperative / Uncontested Divorce
When you and your spouse can agree on the key issues, this is often the fastest and most affordable path.
Discuss Your CaseCooperative / Uncontested Divorce
When you are able to work out how best to handle issues of parenting, support, division of assets and debts, you may still need professional assistance preparing and filing all the required documents.
I can help with this process, by providing guidance on the law and the process, drafting written settlement agreements and all other required documents, and after everything is signed, filing your case and handling an uncontested final hearing.
The Steps:
- You and your spouse agree on all settlement terms
- You and I review the terms together so nothing is missed
- I draft all necessary documents that need to be signed
- Your spouse reviews with their own attorney prior to signing
- I file everything in the appropriate court and schedule a brief final hearing (usually by Zoom)
- I attend the final hearing with you and send the final judgment to the Court to sign
Additional Areas Of Expertise
Divorce Planning
If you’re thinking about getting a divorce and want to understand the process, I provide legal advice and coaching services so you can better control your own divorce, parenting plans, child support, and alimony case — on an hourly, as-needed basis.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are contracts created before marriage to establish the results in case of divorce — generally covering property division, alimony, and premarital assets. Florida has strict requirements for valid prenuptial agreements.
Paternity
A child does not have a legal father in Florida if the mother is not married to the father at birth. Establishing paternity gives rights and benefits to the mother, the father and the child. A paternity case can be resolved cooperatively through mediation.
Stepparent / Family Member Adoptions
In an adoption proceeding, a married stepparent can establish a legal relationship with their spouse’s child. The stepparent adoption process is more streamlined than other adoption proceedings. A biological parent can consent rather than requiring a court order.
Parenting Plans & Timesharing
Florida requires a parenting plan in all cases involving minor children. Jill works to ensure your parenting plan serves the best interests of your children and reflects your family’s unique needs — whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Alimony & Child Support
Florida courts consider multiple factors when awarding alimony and calculating child support. Jill provides experienced guidance on initial establishment and subsequent modifications when circumstances change.
Modification & Enforcement Of Judgments
When significant life changes occur — change in income, relocation, or the needs of your children — an existing court order may no longer be appropriate. Jill helps you petition for a modification or enforce an order the other party is not following.
Relocation
Florida law has specific requirements when a parent with a minor child wishes to relocate more than 50 miles from their current residence. Jill provides knowledgeable guidance protecting your relationship with your children throughout any relocation dispute.
