What is the best route to take?
You will save a lot of time, money and aggravation if you can get an agreement with your spouse on all issues such as child support, custody, visitation, division of property and debt and alimony if any. Obviously this is easier said than done but if you can do it, a lawyer can draw up a settlement agreement and the matter will be fairly inexpensive compared to a contested Florida divorce. If you cannot agree on one or more issues you will need to go to Court for the Judge to decide these issues. Try and sit down with your spouse and work out details. It may take several meetings to conclude matters. If you have a spouse that thinks they’re going to run the show, remind them that only the Judge runs the show. Without threatening, remind them that this matter can be done the easy way or the hard way.
