Uncooperative Spouse Divorce

If you’re looking for a divorce but your spouse isn’t cooperating, there’s no need to worry. EZ Florida Divorce is a no-fault state, which means that one spouse can file for divorce based on irreconcilable differences, even if the other spouse disagrees. The process begins with a document called a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. This petition, along with other required documents, must be properly served to your uncooperative spouse by a sheriff or process server.

If your spouse doesn’t respond to the Petition within 20 days (plus an additional 5 days for mailing), you can request a default judgment from the clerk. However, if there are children involved, the clerk may deny the default, and you will need to seek a judicial default from a judge. Regardless, your spouse cannot force you to remain married.
