The basics

What is an uncontested divorce?

A divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on all of the material issues — how to divide property and debts, whether alimony will be paid, and, if you have minor children, a parenting plan and child support.

Florida is a no-fault state: the court only needs to find that the marriage is irretrievably broken. At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before filing.

Agreeing doesn’t mean the legal work is simple. The agreement still has to be complete, correctly drafted, and accepted by the court — and that is where an experienced attorney matters.

An uncontested divorce may be right for you if…

You both agree to work amicably through the process
You agree on how to divide property and debts
You agree on alimony — or that none will be paid
You agree on a parenting plan and child support, if you have children
Your spouse is willing to sign and cooperate with the paperwork

From first conversation to final decree

Nine clear steps. You’ll always know where your case stands and what comes next.

STEP 1Determine fit

A short questionnaire or free 15-minute assessment confirms your divorce qualifies as uncontested.

STEP 2Fee agreement

You receive a written flat-fee agreement stating the package, inclusions, and exclusions.

STEP 3Strategy session

Your attorney reviews your situation, your agreement, and anything that could cause problems later.

STEP 4Information gathering

You provide financial information and required documents through a guided checklist.

STEP 5Attorney drafting

Your attorney prepares the petition, marital settlement agreement, and supporting documents.

STEP 6Client review

You review everything, ask questions, and request revisions within your package.

STEP 7Execution & filing

Documents are signed and filed with the court. Florida requires at least 20 days after filing before a final judgment.

STEP 8Final hearing

Your attorney represents you at the brief final hearing where the judge reviews the agreement.

STEP 9Divorce decree

The court enters the final judgment of dissolution — and your divorce is complete.

Attorney vs. DIY

Why not just use an online divorce service?

Online services sell forms. They don’t tell you what’s missing from your agreement, whether a retirement account needs a separate court order, or how a vague parenting schedule will play out in two years.

With Accord, an experienced attorney reviews your situation, drafts your agreement, and stands behind the work — for a flat fee that’s far more predictable than traditional hourly representation.

Attorney-handled uncontested divorces typically take less than 30 days from start to finish. When a spouse tries to file a divorce without an attorney (pro se), the divorce typically takes 9 months to a year.

Questions

Uncontested divorce FAQs

How much does an uncontested divorce cost in Florida?

Accord’s flat-fee uncontested divorce packages start at $1,595 for couples with no minor children and little or no property to divide. Packages for couples with assets, children, or a business range from $1,995 to $3,995. Optional third-party costs such as service of process or valuations are not included.

How long does an uncontested divorce take in Florida?

Florida requires at least 20 days between filing and the final judgment. Attorney-handled uncontested divorces typically take less than 30 days from start to finish. When a spouse tries to file a divorce without an attorney (pro se), the divorce typically takes 9 months to a year.

Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?

Florida doesn’t require one, and the state offers a simplified dissolution procedure for some couples without children. But no one in that process advises you on what you’re signing. An attorney makes sure your agreement is complete, enforceable, and covers issues people commonly miss. Attorney-handled uncontested divorces typically take less than 30 days from start to finish, while divorces filed without an attorney (pro se) typically take 9 months to a year.

Can you get an uncontested divorce with children?

Yes. You will need an agreed Florida parenting plan and child support calculated under Florida’s guidelines, and parents must complete a parent education course. Our Family Forward™ package covers these requirements.

What if we agree on almost everything?

The Almost Agreed™ package adds limited, clearly scoped attorney settlement assistance for one or two unresolved issues. If the matter becomes contested or goes beyond that scope, a new fee agreement applies.

Does my spouse need to hire a lawyer too?

Accord represents one spouse. Your spouse is not required to hire an attorney, but may choose to have their own lawyer review the agreement.

What if we already filed our divorce but are stuck in the system?

This is very common when you file a divorce “pro se,” or without an attorney. Sometimes people wait several years for the court system to move their case forward when they do not have an attorney. We can help you get this done — typically within 30 days, and sometimes within weeks.

Flat fees apply only to qualifying, standard-scope matters after attorney review and acceptance of your case. Court filing fees are included; service-of-process charges, recording fees, mediator fees, valuation costs, experts, accountants, and other third-party charges are not. An uncontested divorce requires genuine agreement on all material issues unless you select the Almost Agreed™ package. Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) preparation is available as an $895 add-on. Unusual real-estate or title issues, substantial tax issues, and other advanced work are quoted separately.
