The basics

What Florida requires

Residency

Under Fla. Stat. § 61.021, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before filing the petition for dissolution of marriage. Proof of residency is part of the filing.

Grounds

Florida is a no-fault state. The standard ground is that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. § 61.052. All issues of property, support, and any children must be resolved for the case to be uncontested.

The final hearing

Unlike New York and New Jersey, Florida requires a short final hearing before the judgment is entered. It is frequently held virtually, and we can appear on your behalf as an add-on so you do not have to attend.

Money questions

Support and property in Florida

Alimony

Fla. Stat. § 61.08, as amended in 2023, eliminated permanent alimony. Awards are capped at the recipient's reasonable need, and the duration is tied to the length of the marriage. Our calculator gives an estimate.

Child support

Florida uses an income-shares schedule under Fla. Stat. § 61.30, adjusted for time-sharing above 20% of overnights, health insurance, and childcare costs.

Dividing property

Florida is an equitable distribution state under Fla. Stat. § 61.075. An equal split is presumed unless the court finds it would be inequitable based on the statutory factors.

Retirement accounts

Dividing a 401(k), pension, or certain IRAs usually needs a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). We coordinate that as an add-on when your case calls for it.

Estimate the numbers: the SingleASAP alimony, child support, asset split, and total cost calculators are free and run on Florida's guidelines.

What is a simplified dissolution?

Simplified dissolution under § 61.052 is available when both spouses agree, there are no minor or dependent children, neither seeks alimony, and both waive trial and appeal. Many uncontested cases proceed as a regular dissolution depending on the facts.

Florida requires a brief final hearing, often virtual. We can appear on your behalf as an add-on so you do not have to attend.

How much does it cost?

The court filing fee is about $408. The SingleASAP flat attorney fee starts at $2,000, or $2,500 with minor children. Court add-ons, including the hearing appearance, are disclosed up front.

How long does it take?

Typically 4 to 8 months from signed agreement to final judgment, depending on the circuit. We can usually prepare and file within a few weeks of intake.
