If you and your spouse agree, SingleASAP prepares and files your entire Florida dissolution for one flat fee, from the petition to the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage. Florida holds a brief final hearing, often virtual, and we can appear for you.
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.
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.
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.
Filing fees are paid to the court at cost and can change. Confirmed at consultation.
A short questionnaire about your marriage, children, and property.
We prepare the Petition, Marital Settlement Agreement, financial affidavits, and the full packet.

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.

Under Fla. Stat. § 61.021, at least one spouse must have been a Florida resident for six months before filing the petition.
