Question 1

Do you file my divorce with the court?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your plan. On Premium we prepare your documents, coordinate signing and notarization, and file your case with the court for you. Premium does not include obtaining the Final Judgment, that is the step that legally completes the divorce, it depends on your county's process and is the customer's step. We provide a free county guide, and finalization assistance is available as a $195 add-on. With our self-file plans (Core and Essential), we prepare everything and you file it yourself through Florida's online court portal. You can upgrade anytime.

Question 2

Do my documents have to be signed and notarized?

Accepted Answer

You can sign and notarize your documents yourself, or add our done-for-you online signing & notarization service. It's one flat add-on fee, and it covers the notary and e-signing costs with no separate charges. Either way, the only additional cost is the court's filing fee, which is set by your county; when we file for you it's collected with your order and we pay the clerk directly, and if you file yourself you pay it at the portal.

Question 3

Does my spouse have to sign too?

Accepted Answer

For an uncontested divorce, yes, both of you sign the agreement and parenting plan. We make that simple: your spouse gets a secure invitation to review and sign their part online. Everything stays in one place so nothing gets lost between you.

Question 4

What are the court filing fees, and who pays them?

Accepted Answer

Florida courts charge a fee to open a divorce case, and it varies slightly by county. When we handle your filing — Premium, or any plan with the filing add-on — we collect that fee with your order and pay the clerk directly, so there's nothing separate for you to pay at the courthouse. On a self-file plan, you pay the court directly when you file.

Question 5

What does "filed" mean, am I divorced once it's filed?

Accepted Answer

Not quite. "Filed" means your case is officially opened with the court. "Finalized" means a judge has signed the Final Judgment, that is the step that legally completes your divorce. That step depends on your county's process and is the customer's step to complete. Premium does not include obtaining the Final Judgment. We provide a free county guide, and finalization assistance is available as a $195 add-on. No plan guarantees a Final Judgment or a specific timeline.

Question 6

Are you a law firm? Can you give me legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. The Quick Divorce is a document preparation service, not a law firm, and we don't give legal advice or make recommendations about your case. We prepare your Florida divorce documents based on the information you provide. If you need legal advice, we always recommend speaking with a licensed attorney.

Question 7

What's the difference between my case being "filed" and being "finalized"?

Accepted Answer

"Filed" means we've submitted your completed documents to the court. "Finalized" means a judge has signed the Final Judgment. Premium (we-file) includes preparing documents, coordinating signing and notarization, and filing. It does not include obtaining the Final Judgment, which depends on your county's process and is the customer's step. We provide a free county guide, and finalization assistance is available as a $195 add-on. No plan guarantees a Final Judgment or a specific timeline.

Question 8

How long will my divorce take?

Accepted Answer

Once you've signed and notarized your documents, we process and file your case with the court within 3-5 business days. From there, how quickly a judge finalizes your divorce depends on your county's court process and schedule, which we don't control. We'll keep you updated at each step, but we can't promise a specific finalization date because that part is up to the court.

Question 9

If I chose a self-file plan, how long after signing and notarizing will I receive my documents?

Accepted Answer

For self-file plans (Core and Essential), your completed, court-ready documents are delivered to you within 1-2 business days after we receive your signed and notarized paperwork. You'll get a downloadable packet along with clear, step-by-step filing instructions for your Florida county so you can submit everything to the court yourself.

Question 10

Are court filing fees included in my price?

Accepted Answer

No. Your package price covers preparing your documents (and, on Premium, filing them). The court filing fee is the State's fee, paid to the Clerk of Court, set by your county; when we file for you it's collected with your order and we pay the clerk directly, and if you file yourself you pay it at the portal. We collect that fee from you right before we file, once we know your county and case type, and it is non-refundable once paid to the court.

Question 11

Why do I pay the court fee later instead of up front?

Accepted Answer

Two reasons: the exact court fee is the State's fee and depends on which county you're filing in and your case type, which we confirm as we prepare your case; and we'd rather not add hundreds of dollars to your checkout before you know your number. So we collect the precise Clerk of Court fee right before filing.

Question 12

Do I have to pay extra to notarize or electronically sign my documents?

Accepted Answer

You can sign and notarize your documents yourself, or add our done-for-you online signing & notarization service. It's one flat add-on fee, and it covers the notary and e-signing costs with no separate charges. The only other cost is the court's filing fee, which is set by your county; when we file for you it's collected with your order and we pay the clerk directly, and if you file yourself you pay it at the portal.

Question 13

Who files my case with the court?

Accepted Answer

On Premium we file your case with the court through Florida's e-filing system once your documents are signed and notarized. Premium does not include obtaining the Final Judgment, that is the step that legally completes the divorce, it depends on your county's process and is the customer's step. We provide a free county guide, and finalization assistance is available as a $195 add-on. With our self-file options (Core and Essential), you'll receive your completed documents with clear instructions to file them yourself.

Question 14

Do I qualify if we have children together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, having children does not disqualify you. It does change which plan is right for your situation. If you and your spouse have minor or dependent children, you will need a parenting plan, a timesharing schedule, and a child support calculation as part of your divorce. Our Essential and Premium plans include those tools. Core is designed for couples with no minor children and no shared assets or debts to divide. Take our 60-second eligibility quiz to see exactly which plan fits.

Question 15

Do I need to have a simple financial situation to use The Quick Divorce?

Accepted Answer

No, and this is one of the most common misconceptions about online divorce. The Quick Divorce is designed for couples who agree on how to handle their finances, not couples who have no finances. You can have a home, retirement accounts, investments, business interests, vehicles, and shared debt and still use our platform, as long as you and your spouse have reached an agreement on how to divide them. Our Essential and Premium plans include the tools to document that agreement properly in a Florida-compliant Marital Settlement Agreement. What determines whether you qualify is not what you own, it is whether you and your spouse are in agreement. If you are, we can help you document it correctly and file it with the court.

Question 16

What does "uncontested" mean, do we have to agree on everything first?

Accepted Answer

Uncontested means both spouses want to resolve the divorce without a judge making decisions for them. You do not have to have everything figured out before you start. Our platform includes agreement tools that help you and your spouse work through the details, parenting, support, and property, at your own pace. You can discuss the issues within our built in chat feature.

Question 17

Is The Quick Divorce a law firm? Will I have an attorney?

Accepted Answer

No. The Quick Divorce is a self-help document preparation service, not a law firm. Our founder is a Florida-licensed family-law attorney who designed the platform, but she is not acting as your attorney when you use this service, and no attorney-client relationship is created. We prepare your court documents based on the information you provide. If your situation requires legal advice or representation, you can pause to seek help from a qualified Florida attorneys. You will be able to download your agreement if you wish to seek the review of your agreements before singing through the app.

Question 18

Are your forms accepted by Florida courts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use the official Florida Supreme Court approved forms for every case, specific to the county where your case will be filed. We guarantee that your packet uses the correct, current forms. If your paperwork is rejected due to a preparation error on our side, we will correct it or refund your service fee.

Question 19

What happens if my paperwork is rejected by the court?

Accepted Answer

If the Florida court rejects your paperwork because of an error we made in preparing your documents, we will fix it and resubmit at no charge or refund your full service fee. Contact us within 30 days of the rejection with your order number and a copy of the court's notice. Our guarantee does not cover rejections caused by incomplete or inaccurate information provided by you, or by court processing issues outside our control.

Question 20

What does your guarantee cover, and what if my spouse stops participating?

Accepted Answer

Our guarantee is specific. If your court paperwork is rejected because of a preparation error on our side, we refund what you paid us for that service. It is not a general satisfaction guarantee. An uncontested divorce requires both spouses to take part, and we cannot guarantee that your spouse will cooperate, sign, or complete their portion. If your spouse declines to participate or stops partway through, that is outside our control and is not grounds for a refund, and your prepared documents remain available to you. Court filing fees and the e-filing convenience fee are paid to the state and are non-refundable, even if a case is dismissed or rejected.

Question 21

What's included in the flat fee, are there other costs I should expect?

Accepted Answer

Our flat fee covers the preparation of all your divorce documents. It does not include the Florida court filing fee, which is the State's fee, set by your county; when we file for you it's collected with your order and we pay the Clerk of Court directly, and if you file yourself you pay it at the portal, collected right before filing and non-refundable once paid. If you choose Premium, we handle the electronic filing for you but the state filing fee is still paid separately. There are no hidden charges, no hourly fees, and no surprises on our end.

Question 22

How long does the process take from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

This depends on you and your partner. Most uncontested Florida divorces can be finalized between 60 and 120 days from the date of filing. This timeframe may be affected by the county's court calendar. Your documents can be ready within minutes of completing the process on our platform. The timeline after filing is determined by the court, not by us.

Question 23

How does the court receive my completed forms?

Accepted Answer

Once your forms are completed, signed, and notarized, your case is opened in the county you have selected and submitted directly through the court's e-filing portal where supported. For counties that do not yet support e-filing, we provide clear instructions for in-person or mail submission. On Premium we handle filing your case; obtaining the Final Judgment is not included, that step depends on your county's process and is the customer's step, and finalization assistance is available as a $195 add-on. Please know that court calendars are not within our control.
