When people call our office about divorce, they often start with some version of the same sentence: “We’ve already agreed on most things, we just need help with the rest.” That’s exactly who we built this practice for.
At TK Law, we work with couples who are ready to move forward, not fight. Our Uncontested Divorce process is built around building an agreement first, litigation never, and a future that both parties can live with.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
An Uncontested Divorce Is Not About Having No Disagreements.
At TL Law, our attorneys know that every divorce is going to have its share of ups and downs. Couples who can focus on a shared goal of saving time, money and avoiding the unpredictable and emotionally draining process of litigation are the ideal candidates for an uncontested divorce.
Most couples going through divorce agree on far more than they realize. Maybe you both agree to put the children first. Maybe you both agree that the house needs to be sold. The most important thing is that you both agree to be reasonable and open to compromise as we guide you through the divorce process.Â
In practical terms, an Uncontested Divorce means an Amicable Divorce:
- You and your spouse are willing to communicate honestly.
- You can reach a mutual agreement on the key legal issues.
- You both want to avoid court battles, delays, and unnecessary cost.
- You both want to stay in control instead of letting a judge decide your family’s future.
OUR PROCESS
Resolution First. File Second.
Step 1
Strategy and Clarity
You meet with an experienced TK Law attorney to understand your rights under Florida law, to discuss what a fair resolution looks like, and explain where hidden risks may exist.
Step 2
Guided Communication
We help you and your spouse identify areas of agreement, work through remaining issues, and reach alignment — without adversarial posturing.
Step 3
Financial Transparency
Complete financial disclosure is the foundation of any lasting agreement. We review any disclosures with you to make sure that no surprises emerge later.
Step 4
Drafting the Agreement
We prepare a comprehensive Marital Settlement Agreement, Parenting Plan (if applicable), and all required Florida court documents.
Step 5
Handling Everything through the Entry of the Final Judgment
Once both parties sign, we file with the court and present your agreement for approval. In most cases, the court simply confirms what you have already decided. With representation, we can often avoid a hearing (meaning you may never have to step into a courtroom to get divorced).
WHAT MUST BE RESOLVED
Every Uncontested Divorce in Florida Requires a Written, Clear Agreement on These Issues.
Even in an amicable case, these legal issues must be addressed:
- Parental Responsibility and Decision Making
- Time-sharing schedule and parenting plan
- Child support amounts and payment structure
- Alimony — type, duration, and amount
- Division of marital assets and debts
- Real estate, including the marital home
- Business interests and professional practices
- Retirement accounts and pension benefits
Our job is to help take a weight off your shoulders. We ensure your agreement is legally sound, practically workable, and designed to prevent future disputes.
Even When Both Parties Agree, You Should Consider Hiring an Experienced Divorce Attorney.
Even in relatively uncontested divorces, we routinely identify problems that could unravel the entire agreement, or, even worse, may result in the agreement that you reach with your spouse being ineffective or unenforceable. Here are a few of the common issues that we see:
- Vague or missing terms that create future litigation
- Provisions that are unenforceable under Florida law
- Support arrangements that are financially unrealistic
- Critical assets or debts that were overlooked entirely or not properly valued or considered
- Language that seems clear today but is disputed later
