Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before Starting the Process
What is a simplified divorce in Florida?
A simplified divorce, or āSimplified Dissolution of Marriage,ā is a faster, more affordable way to end a marriage in Florida ā without court appearances. Itās designed for couples who agree on all terms and meet specific eligibility requirements, including having no minor children and both spouses being willing to sign the paperwork.
Can we get a simplified divorce if we have children?
No. Florida law does not allow simplified divorces if the couple has minor or dependent children, or if the wife is currently pregnant. If you have children but agree on all terms, you may still qualify for an uncontested divorce ā contact us for details.
Do we both have to sign the divorce documents?
Yes. Both spouses must agree to the divorce and sign the required paperwork. If one spouse is unwilling to participate, a simplified divorce is not an option.
Do I have to go to court for a simplified divorce in Florida?
No, if you qualify for a simplified divorce, you wonāt need to appear in court in most cases. All paperwork is handled outside of court, and our team files everything for you.
How long does a simplified divorce take in Florida?
Most simplified divorces are finalized within 90 to 120 days after filing, but some may be completed in as little as 60 days. The exact timeline depends on how quickly both spouses cooperate and the courtās schedule.
How much does a simplified divorce cost?
Our flat fee is $1,500, which includes:
- Attorney-prepared documents
- Filing and court fees ($409)
- Full legal guidance and document review
- Step-by-step support through the entire process
If you’d like a consultation first, we offer one for $100, which will be credited toward the full fee if you move forward with us.
What if my spouse lives in another state or country?
You can still qualify as long as one spouse currently lives in Florida and both parties are willing to participate. We’ll help you through any remote signing and notarization requirements.
Can I file for divorce without telling my spouse?
No. Simplified divorce requires full cooperation from both spouses. If youāre unsure how to move forward, contact us to discuss other legal options.
What if I have no property or assets to divide?
Thatās completely fine ā in fact, it may make the process even simpler. As long as you and your spouse agree that there’s nothing to divide, youāre likely eligible.

- You and your spouse have no minor or dependent children together, and neither spouse is pregnant
