Uncontested Divorce Cost Orlando FL: $750 Flat Fee (2026)

An uncontested divorce in Orlando costs a $750 flat attorney fee at the Law Office of Antonio G. Jimenez, plus separate Orange County court costs of roughly $408-$410 and notary fees. The $750 is the same statewide flat fee — the price is identical whether or not you have minor children. Both spouses must agree on every issue under Florida Statutes Chapter 61 for the flat fee to apply.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Orlando?

The total cost of an uncontested divorce in Orlando breaks down into two separate pieces: the attorney fee and the court costs. Our firm charges a $750 flat attorney fee to prepare and review your uncontested divorce documents, and that fee is the same in all 67 Florida counties. Court costs are set by the Orange County Clerk of Court, not by our office, and are paid by you directly to the clerk.

As of July 2026, the Orange County Clerk of Court charges approximately $408-$410 to file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, with card payments adding roughly a 4% convenience fee (bringing the total to about $425). A $10 summons fee applies if your spouse must be served. Notary fees (around $50 per session) are also separate. Court filing fees are set by each county clerk and are separate from our flat attorney fee; verify the current amount with the Orange County Clerk before you file.

Why Is Our Orlando Divorce Fee a Flat $750?

A traditional Orlando divorce lawyer typically bills against a retainer of $2,500 to $5,000 or more, then draws down at an hourly rate. For an uncontested case where both spouses already agree, that pricing model creates uncertainty — you never know the final bill until the work is done.

Our firm removes that uncertainty. The $750 flat fee covers preparing and reviewing your petition, your Marital Settlement Agreement, and (if you have children) your parenting plan and child support worksheet. Because the fee is flat and statewide, an uncontested divorce in Orlando costs the same as one filed in Miami-Dade, Tampa, or Jacksonville. We disclose court costs up front so there are no surprises — this is a transparent, flat, statewide fee, not a teaser rate. For a deeper look at the pricing model, see our guide on uncontested divorce cost in Tampa, which follows the same $750 structure.

What Makes a Divorce Uncontested in Florida?

Under Florida Statutes Chapter 61, a divorce is uncontested only when both spouses agree on all issues: division of marital property, division of debts, time-sharing (the Florida term for custody under F.S. 61.13), child support, and alimony. Florida is a no-fault state under F.S. 61.052 — the only ground is that the marriage is "irretrievably broken," and you do not need to prove wrongdoing or obtain your spouse's consent to the divorce itself.

If spouses cannot agree on even one issue, the case is contested and the $750 flat fee does not apply. Contested cases require mediation (mandatory in most Florida circuits) and potentially a trial before a family court judge. If your case starts contested but you later reach agreement, our guide on converting a contested divorce to uncontested explains how that transition works.

Simplified vs. Regular Uncontested Dissolution in Orlando

Florida offers two uncontested paths, and the right one depends on your circumstances. Both cost the same $750 flat attorney fee at our firm.

Simplified dissolution under F.S. 61.052(2) is faster but requires no minor or dependent children, no alimony claim, agreement on all property and debt, and both spouses to attend the final hearing. It waives your right to a trial and to financial disclosure from the other spouse. Regular uncontested dissolution is used when there are children, an alimony provision, or one spouse cannot appear.

What Forms Does an Orlando Uncontested Divorce Require?

Florida uses standardized family law forms available at flcourts.gov, filed through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal at myflcourtaccess.com. The core documents for an Orlando uncontested case include:

• Petition for Dissolution: Form 12.901(a) (simplified), Form 12.901(b)(1) (property, no children), or Form 12.901(b)(2) (with children).
• Marital Settlement Agreement: the centerpiece of most cases. Form 12.902(f)(3) is the standard MSA for simplified dissolution. Your MSA must cover property, debts, time-sharing, child support, and alimony.
• Family Law Financial Affidavit: Form 12.902(b) (short form) or Form 12.902(c) (long form), generally required within 45 days.
• Notice of Joint Verified Waiver of Filing Financial Affidavits: Form 12.902(k), which the parties may file to waive financial affidavits under Florida Family Law Rule 12.285.
• Parenting Plan: required when minor children are involved, specifying time-sharing and parental responsibility under F.S. 61.13.

Our firm prepares and reviews each of these documents so the MSA and parenting plan are complete before filing. This is where full representation by a licensed Florida attorney differs from a non-lawyer document-typing service — those services cannot give legal advice or catch a substantive error in your settlement agreement.

Where Do You File an Uncontested Divorce in Orlando?

Orlando sits in Orange County, part of Florida's 9th Judicial Circuit. Dissolution petitions are filed with the Orange County Clerk of Court (Family Law Division). The Orange County Courthouse is located at 425 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801, and the clerk can be reached at (407) 836-2000.

You file electronically through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal (myflcourtaccess.com). The Orange County Clerk also provides family law self-help resources and form packets through its website. At least one spouse must have been a Florida resident for six months before filing under F.S. 61.021 — proven by a Florida driver's license, voter registration, or a corroborating witness. For a broader look at the same process in another metro, see our Orlando-adjacent guidance on filing an uncontested divorce, which mirrors the Orange County workflow.

Does the Ninth Circuit Require a Final Hearing?

For uncontested dissolutions, Florida courts generally schedule a brief final hearing to enter the Final Judgment of Dissolution. In a simplified dissolution, both spouses must attend that hearing — it is a statutory requirement under F.S. 61.052(2). In a regular uncontested case resolved by a written Marital Settlement Agreement, a short hearing is typical, though scheduling and format are controlled by the court and the assigned judge.

Florida has no mandatory waiting period after filing, so timing depends largely on the clerk's processing and the court's calendar rather than a fixed statutory delay. The court controls scheduling, so we describe timelines as typical ranges rather than guarantees.

How Is Alimony Handled in an Uncontested Orlando Divorce?

In an uncontested case, spouses decide alimony themselves and write the terms into the Marital Settlement Agreement — including waiving alimony entirely, which is common. If a court ever needs to decide alimony, F.S. 61.08 governs. Effective July 1, 2023, Senate Bill 1416 eliminated permanent alimony in Florida. The remaining forms are bridge-the-gap (maximum 2 years), rehabilitative (maximum 5 years), and durational (capped by marriage length). Because your case is uncontested, you and your spouse control this term, which is one reason uncontested cases resolve faster and cost far less than litigated ones.

Author Note

I have practiced Florida family law since 2006 and have guided uncontested cases through circuit courts across the state, including the 9th Judicial Circuit here in Orlando. The most common cost surprise I see is clients forgetting the court filing fee is separate from the attorney fee — which is exactly why our firm discloses both figures up front. — Antonio G.
