Step 3: Finalize and file
Print, sign, and notarize your packet, then file with your Florida county clerk — either through our e-filing partner where supported, or by walking it in. We guide you through the final hearing and decree, so the process closes cleanly.
What you'll need before starting
Gather these items so your questionnaire goes quickly.
- Proof of Florida residency for at least 6 months (driver's license or ID)
- Full legal names, dates of birth, and current addresses for both spouses
- Date and place of your marriage
- Information about minor children (if any) — names, dates of birth, school
- Recent income information for both spouses (paystubs or tax returns)
- A list of marital assets and debts you've agreed how to divide
- A working email address and a way to pay the county filing fee (around $409)
Most couples can gather everything on this checklist in under an hour.

How it works — FAQ
- How long does an uncontested divorce take in Florida?
- Florida law requires a minimum 20-day waiting period after the petition is filed before a judge can finalize the divorce. Most uncontested cases handled through The Quick Divorce wrap up in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the county clerk's calendar.
- Do both spouses need to use The Quick Divorce?
- Only one spouse needs an account to start, but the process is designed for both partners to participate. Florida uncontested divorces require both spouses to sign the marital settlement agreement before a judge will finalize the case.
- Do I have to appear in court?
- For most Florida uncontested divorces, only the petitioner attends a brief final hearing (often available by Zoom in many counties). Simplified dissolution cases require both spouses to attend together.
- Can I switch plans or upgrade later?
- Yes. You can start with the Basic plan and upgrade to Essential or Premium at any time before filing if your situation needs more support.
- What happens if my spouse stops cooperating?
- Uncontested divorce requires both spouses to agree on all major issues. If your spouse stops cooperating, your case becomes contested and you should consult a licensed Florida family-law attorney — our service is not designed for contested matters.
