Tampa Flat Fee Divorce Attorney

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flat fee divorce?

When you and your spouse want to get a divorce and you don’t have any disagreements or issues with division of property, assets, child custody, child support, alimony or anything else involved in divorce, then you are eligible for a flat fee divorce.  An attorney will work with you for a flat fee to get your divorce through.  You will be filing for uncontested divorce, and because you and your spouse will have already agreed upon all of the issues surrounding your marriage, then you will be able to get that divorce finalized quickly.

What is a Marital Separation Agreement?

Also known as a Marital Settlement Agreement or Property Settlement Agreement, this contract spells out the decisions you and your spouse have made regarding your children, property, assets, debts and everything else involved in your divorce.  

Do my spouse and I need a Marital Separation Agreement?

If you and your spouse have no marital property (co-owned assets, property, etc) and no children, then you probably don’t need to have any agreement splitting any things that you both own.  The purpose of this document is to set forth the agreements that you and your spouse have come to regarding all of your marital property. 

What is marital property?

Any and all assets, property, etc that you and your spouse acquire together during the marriage is defined as marital property.  Marital property can also extend to cover certain other types of things.  For example, if you owned a house before you got married but your spouse put a lot of work and money into the property while you were married, that property can be considered to be marital property and should be divided per Florida state law. 

What is the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce?

The difference is simple.  In an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse can reach an agreement on all issues surrounding your marriage.  In an contested divorce, either one or both of you are unable to reach an accord on some or all of the various factors that go into a divorce such as child custody, child support, alimony, property division, etc.
