What Is an Uncontested Divorce?
A Different Kind of Divorce — One Built on Agreement
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on the key issues—property division, alimony, parenting plans and time-sharing, and child support—before going to court. It is a process built on cooperation rather than conflict.
For many Brevard County families, an uncontested divorce offers a more respectful and dignified path forward. With experienced legal guidance from a family mediator in Brevard County, it can also be one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to move on to the next chapter of life.

What Qualifies
What Must Be Resolved Before an Uncontested Divorce Can Be Finalized?
An uncontested divorce can save significant time, expense, and stress compared to traditional litigation. Before a Florida judge can approve and finalize your divorce, however, all major issues must be fully resolved and documented in a written agreement. This is where Fisher Family Law & Mediation comes in – we help you get to that written agreement through divorce mediation services.

Divorce Property Division
Both spouses must agree on how marital assets and debts will be divided, including real estate, retirement accounts, bank accounts, vehicles, business interests, and outstanding obligations. Florida law requires an equitable distribution of marital property.
Spousal Support & Alimony
Parties agree whether alimony will be paid, in what amount, and for how long — or agree to waive it entirely
Parenting Plans & Time-Sharing
A complete parenting plan covering daily schedules, decisionmaking authority, and holiday time-sharing must be agreed upon.
Child Support Services
Florida uses a statutory formula. Both parties must agree to an amount that meets the statutory minimum.
“The goal isn’t just to end a marriage—it’s to help both people move forward with their dignity, financial stability, and family relationships intact.”

Do We Need a Parenting Plan for an Uncontested Divorce?
If you have minor children, yes — Florida law requires a parenting plan in every divorce case involving children, covering time-sharing, decision-making, and communication.
