Choosing which divorce form/ process?
Should I file for Simplified divorce or General divorce when the only children are involved are mine from a previous marriage, and we have none together? We both have lived in Florida for years, we agree on everything.

Choosing which divorce form/ process?
You could actually take your pick, as far as which process to choose. Since your children are not ?of the marriage? and are not common to both parties, then they most likely do not come into the picture for child support.
There are always some considerations about whether to choose the general divorce or simplified divorce. One consideration is that in the simplified process both parties must appear at the final hearing. This may not be a huge problem, since you are in complete agreement. But, if one of you would prefer not to appear; doesn't want to take the time off work; has moved out of state; etc., then you should probably consider using the general divorce process rather than the simplified process. In the general divorce process, only the petitioner must appear at the final hearing.
