Fort Myers Law Firm for Uncontested Divorce, Paternity, Custody, and Adoption

family Attorney in Fort Myers, FL | Daniels Law, P.A.

Resolving Family Matters with Clarity and Care

Why an Uncontested Approach Works

Uncontested means both sides agree on the major terms. For divorce, that includes property, debts, alimony, and a parenting plan if there are children. For paternity and custody, parents agree on timesharing, decision making, and child support. For many adoptions, consents are already in place. Clients across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Bokeelia choose this route for faster resolution, lower cost, less stress, and more privacy. Even cooperative cases benefit from legal guidance, since Florida forms and local rules in Lee County can be technical and time sensitive.

Uncontested divorce in Florida

Couples who qualify for Simplified Dissolution can finalize quickly when both sign and appear for a brief hearing. Others use a standard uncontested filing where one spouse files and both sign a marital settlement agreement. Daniels Law, P.A. drafts the agreement, handles financial affidavits, and prepares the final judgment for the judge’s review. If you are restoring a former name, we coordinate that too by linking the process to name changes when appropriate.

Paternity, custody, and child support by agreement

When parents are not married, establishing paternity and a parenting plan protects time with your child and clarifies support. We calculate guideline support, build in practical schedules that fit school and work in Fort Myers or the River District, and submit the proposed plan for approval. When parents already cooperate, a clear order reduces future conflict. For details on calculations and deviations, see child support guidance that fits your timesharing and expenses.

Uncontested adoption options

Stepparent and relative cases often proceed without a home study when all consents are in place. Our team prepares consents, petitions, and final orders so your hearing in Lee or Charlotte County is brief and celebratory. Compare these routes with relative adoptions and stepparent adoption to decide which filing matches your family.
