In a collaborative divorce in Florida, will I still go to court?

If your collaborative divorce process is successful, as most are, then you still go to court for about five minutes. It’s a relatively happier day in court. It’s an uncontested hearing where the agreement is showed to the judge, the judge blesses it, and issues a court order divorcing you based upon the terms of the agreement that you have previously entered into with your spouse. So, it’s a very small, short, uncontested, relatively happier hearing.

If the process is unsuccessful, you will still go to court, but then for a much longer period of time, and probably more than one episode.
