What an uncontested divorce actually costs in NY, NJ & FL
Two numbers make up the price of an uncontested divorce: what you pay your attorney, and what you pay the court. Here's the full breakdown for the three states we file in — no hidden meter.
1. The attorney fee — one flat price
SingleASAP quotes a single flat fee for the whole filing, agreed before any work begins:
- New York — $2,000 (no minor children) or $2,500 (with minor children).
- New Jersey & Florida — from $3,500 (no children) or $4,000 (with children). Those courts usually require a short final hearing, which we attend and include.
- Plus / property cases (home transfer, retirement/QDRO coordination, business interests) start at $3,500, quoted after intake.
That fee covers the complete uncontested package: drafting the complaint and settlement agreement, all required court forms, e-filing and service coordination, and the final judgment — from intake to the judge's signature. No hourly billing, ever.
2. The court filing fee — paid to the court, not us
- New York — about $335: Index Number ($210) + Request for Judicial Intervention ($95) + Note of Issue ($30).
- New Jersey — about $300 for the complaint, plus a $25 parents' education fee when there are minor children.
- Florida — about $408 for the dissolution petition.
These go directly to the clerk and are the client's responsibility — they're never part of our billing.
3. Optional add-ons — only if your case needs them
- QDRO drafting (to divide a 401(k) or pension) — $750 each
- Real-estate transfer / deed prep — $350
- Name restoration in the judgment — $100
- Service by publication (if a spouse can't be located) — $300
- Rush handling — $500
Heavier court work — a motion for alternative service, a default-judgment motion, or a contested hearing appearance — is quoted up front and billed only if your case actually needs it.
