What Is The Difference Between A Contested And An Uncontested Divorce?

When ending your marriage, you face two common scenarios: a contested or uncontested divorce. Understanding the difference between the two can impact the legal process and potentially the outcome of proceedings.

A contested divorce occurs when spouses disagree on one or more aspects of their divorce settlement, such as the division of assets, alimony and child support or custody. Other times, one spouse may entirely oppose a divorce. Contested divorces involve court appearances, lengthy negotiations and possibly litigation procedures.

By contrast, an uncontested divorce involves spousal agreement on marital property, spousal support and child-related matters, either early in the divorce or beforehand. These divorces often require minimal court involvement, potentially reducing stress and legal costs.

Can I Modify My Divorce Agreement In Broward County?

Life circumstances can change after a divorce, and your existing agreement might no longer be suitable. Fortunately, Florida law allows modifications to certain aspects of your divorce decree. However, specific criteria govern these changes.

Florida courts will consider modifying your divorce agreement only if a “substantial change in circumstances” has occurred since the initial court orders. Common reasons to request a modification include:

  • Income changes: A significant increase or decrease in income for either spouse (job loss, promotion or disability) can impact child support or spousal support payments.
  • Change in child needs: As children grow, their needs for education, health care or extracurricular activities may evolve, necessitating adjustments to child support.
  • Relocation: If a parent with primary custody plans to relocate, the court will evaluate the potential disruption to the child’s life and potentially modify custody and other arrangements.
  • Remarriage or cohabitation: A former spouse’s remarriage or cohabitation can also affect alimony payments.

Of course, there are rules to follow when seeking post-divorce alimony and child support modifications. An experienced attorney can help you understand when modifications are possible and what evidence needs to be presented in court for a successful request.
