# Uncontested Divorce in Broward County, Florida (2026 Guide)

FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Broward County residents, prepared and reviewed by a licensed Florida attorney before anything is filed, and managed 100% remotely. You pay the $408 court filing fee separately to the clerk. Your divorce qualifies as uncontested when both spouses agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052 and agree on all terms.

Does Your Broward County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?

Your divorce qualifies as uncontested when you and your spouse agree the marriage is over and agree on every term, including property, debts, and any time-sharing arrangement. There is no fighting left to resolve in court, only paperwork to prepare correctly and file. That is exactly the situation a flat-fee uncontested divorce is built for.

In my experience, most couples who think their case is too complicated for an uncontested divorce are actually closer to agreement than they realize. When spouses talk through property and time-sharing before filing, what felt like a dispute often becomes a few terms to write down clearly.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Broward County?

An uncontested divorce in Broward County has two main cost layers: the court's filing fee and your attorney fee, plus a couple of small situational costs. With FloridaDivorce.law, the attorney fee is a flat $750 with no surprise billing.

Start your flat-fee uncontested divorce with FloridaDivorce.law, handled remotely with no office visits required.

What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Broward County?

At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before you file, under Fla. Stat. §61.021. This is a firm requirement, and the court will dismiss a petition filed too early. You do not both need to be Florida residents, and you do not need to have lived in Broward County for any set period, only in the state.

You prove residency with a Florida driver's license, a Florida ID card, a voter registration card, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness. Filing in Broward County is appropriate when at least one spouse resides here.

What if I just moved to Broward County?

Moving to Broward County recently does not reset the clock if you already lived elsewhere in Florida for six months. The six-month requirement under Fla. Stat. §61.021 is statewide, not county-specific. If you just moved to Florida from another state, you must wait until you have been a Florida resident for six full months before you file. Once that mark passes, Broward County is the proper venue if you live here.

How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Broward County? (Step-by-Step)

You file an uncontested divorce in Broward County by preparing the correct forms, e-filing them with the clerk, and completing a short waiting period before a judge signs your final judgment. Here is the sequence.

What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Broward County?

You need the Florida Supreme Court approved family law forms that match your divorce track, all available at flcourts.gov and filed through the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. The exact set depends on whether you have minor children and which dissolution path you use.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Broward County?

An uncontested divorce in Broward County typically takes about four to eight weeks from preparation to final judgment, though court timing varies by county and by the judge's calendar. The mandatory 20-day waiting period sets the floor; everything else depends on how quickly documents are prepared and reviewed.

Court timing varies by county, so treat this range as a realistic estimate rather than a guarantee.

What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Broward County?

At a final hearing for an uncontested divorce, the judge confirms that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, reviews your settlement terms, and signs the final judgment. The hearing is usually brief because there is nothing in dispute. You confirm a few facts under oath, such as your residency and your agreement to the terms, and the judge signs Form 12.990.

When minor children are involved, the judge reviews your parenting plan and confirms that child support follows the guidelines in Fla. Stat. §61.30. When property is divided, the court confirms your division is consistent with the equitable distribution principles in Fla. Stat. §61.075. Florida is an equitable-distribution state, not a community-property state.

Can the final hearing be waived in Broward County?

In some uncontested cases, particularly simplified dissolutions and certain matters where both spouses have signed and agreed, the court may resolve the divorce without a full in-person hearing, or may allow appearance by video or telephone. Whether a hearing is required depends on the judge and the specifics of your case. We handle these arrangements remotely whenever the court permits, so you do not have to plan a trip to the courthouse.
