Considering an uncontested divorce in Florida? Attorney Sonya Peterkin can help you choose the right path while protecting finances and parenting stability. An uncontested filing is often appropriate when both parties agree on asset division, child custody and support, and want a faster, less stressful process. Start prepared — bring: a marriage certificate, recent pay stubs, bank and retirement statements, property deeds, a proposed parenting plan, and any prenuptial agreement. Questions to consider before your consult: Are we in full agreement on custody and support? How should assets and debts be divided? What timeline do we prefer? What are the tax or retirement implications? Attorney Sonya Peterkin listens with empathy and explains options in plain language so you can make confident decisions.
