The Florida Special Affidavit for Uncontested Dissolution of Marriage w/o Hearing is a legal document used to dissolve a marriage without having to go through a hearing or trial. It is typically used when both parties agree to the divorce, have no outstanding disputes, and do not need to litigate any issues. The affidavit must be filed in the circuit court in the county where the parties last lived together as husband and wife. There are two types of Florida Special Affidavit for Uncontested Dissolution of Marriage w/o Hearing: the Joint Petition and the Simplified Dissolution of Marriage. With the Joint Petition, both spouses must sign the affidavit and file it with the court. The Simplified Dissolution of Marriage is a simpler process where one party files the affidavit and the other party waives their right to a hearing. Both affidavits must include information such as the names and addresses of both parties, the grounds for the divorce, any prior marriage dissolution or annulments, and any minor children from the marriage. The affidavit also must include a sworn statement that the marriage is irretrievably broken and that both parties are in agreement on all terms of the divorce. The affidavit must be signed and notarized in order to be accepted by the court.
