Qualifying for Simplified Divorce
In the State of Florida, certain married couples may be able to divorce within 30 days of filing paperwork. This type of divorce is called a simplified divorce, and individuals must meet strict standards to be eligible for it.
Simplified divorce cuts out many of the hassles of regular divorces. To learn if you may qualify for a simplified divorce, contact the Fort Lauderdale divorce lawyers of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A., at 954-580-8080 today.
Conditions for Simplified Divorce
The qualifications for simplified divorce are strict but not unobtainable. Though the rules are easier to meet for couples who have not been married long, some individuals in long term marriages may still qualify. Generally, couples may qualify for simplified divorce when they:
- Share few or no marital assets
- Share few or no marital debts
- Do not have dependent children
- Have agreement among both spouses to divorce
Couples who meet these agreements usually qualify for a simplified divorce, though the decision ultimately comes from a divorce court. A simplified divorce essentially cuts out the need for a divorce settlement.
Though simplified divorces involve easier processes, individuals are still advised to seek experienced legal help, as there is still a great deal of paperwork involved.
