How Much Does a Divorce Cost in Florida? (2026 Complete Guide)

How Much Does a Divorce Cost in Florida?

The cost of divorce in Florida varies significantly based on whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, the complexity of your assets, and the attorney you choose. Here's a complete breakdown for 2026.

Florida Divorce Filing Fees

Every divorce in Florida requires paying court filing fees, which vary by county:

• Filing fee: $300-$410 (varies by county)
• Service of process: $40-$100
• Additional motions: $50-$100 each

Attorney Fees: Hourly vs. Flat-Fee

Most Florida divorce attorneys charge $250-$500 per hour, which can result in total fees of:

The Flat-Fee Alternative

At Florida Divorce Law, we offer transparent flat-fee pricing: a $750 attorney fee for an uncontested divorce, the same price with or without minor children. With children, the fee includes the parenting plan, child support guidelines worksheet, and UCCJEA affidavit. Both spouses must agree on all terms and be willing to sign.

This means you know your attorney fee upfront—no surprise bills, no meter running during phone calls. The court filing fee (about $408–$410, plus a ~4% card convenience fee) and the $50-per-session remote notary are paid separately.

Factors That Affect Divorce Cost

Several factors influence your total divorce cost:

How to Reduce Your Divorce Costs

If you and your spouse can agree on terms, an uncontested divorce costs significantly less.

Flat-fee pricing eliminates uncertainty and often costs less than hourly billing.

Having financial records organized saves attorney time (and your money if paying hourly).

Mediation is less expensive than litigation and often produces better outcomes.

The True Cost of Cheap Divorce Options

DIY divorce services and online filing companies may seem cheaper, but they can cost more in the long run:

• No legal advice: You may give up rights you didn't know you had
• Mistakes: Errors can require expensive corrections
• Unfair agreements: Without an attorney, you may accept unfair terms
