Question 1

Do we both need to hire you for an uncontested divorce in Florida?

Accepted Answer

No. One attorney represents one party and prepares the documents. The other spouse reviews and signs independently. We explain the full process at your consultation.

Question 2

What if we don't agree on everything yet?

Accepted Answer

That's okay. We can discuss your options including mediation referrals and help you understand what issues still need resolution before proceeding to uncontested filing.

Question 3

How long does an uncontested divorce take in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Florida has a mandatory 20-day waiting period after filing. Most uncontested cases resolve within 4 to 8 weeks depending on court scheduling.

Question 4

Do we have to come in person?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. We offer remote consultations and handle many aspects of your case virtually. We serve all of Florida, not just Polk County.

Question 5

What if children are involved in our uncontested divorce?

Accepted Answer

Uncontested divorce with children requires a court-approved Parenting Plan and an accurate child support calculation per Florida guidelines. We handle both in full compliance with Florida law.

Question 6

What is the difference between Geffrard Law and an online divorce form service?
