Better Options For How To Get Divorced

Divorce Options

Most people are familiar with the traditional litigation/court method for getting divorced.  However, there are actually several other options for how to get divorced in Florida that are often used by couples to maintain control over their future.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties are in agreement with all of the terms of a divorce. At Reed Law, we offer an online option allows parties who have reached an agreement regarding all of their issues finalize their divorce for a low flat-fee, and in most cases without every having to attend a hearing.

Mediation

While mediation is voluntary, it’s a non-confrontational option that allows both parties to engage in either with or without attorneys. A mediator acts as the facilitator and can help couples work through any conflicts.  Mediation is also a confidential process.  Mediation communication is confidential, except where laws permit or require disclosure.  Depending on the parties’ wishes they can be in separate rooms, called caucusing.  Kimberly D. Reed is skilled in conflict resolution and can guide you through the mediation process.

Collaborative Divorce

The collaborative divorce model is a non-adversarial process that is designed to help divorcing couples and other family law litigants find solutions to difficult issues. This process permits the couple and their lawyers to work together cooperatively to draft a settlement that is satisfactory to all, keeping the couple in control of their future, instead of in the hands of a Judge.

Unbundled Services

Hiring an attorney to represent you through an entire family law legal proceeding can be expensive or more than you believe you need. At Reed Law, we offer an alternative option to our clients that allows the client to narrow the attorney’s role to just what specific service or services the client wants. This is known as providing unbundled services. It allows clients access to legal services that they would otherwise not receive and minimizes their financial commitment.
