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

An uncontested divorce lawyer in Orlando prepares and reviews your Florida dissolution documents for a $750 flat attorney fee — the same statewide price in all 67 counties. Court costs (the Orange County filing fee of about $408-$410) and notary fees are separate. You file in the Ninth Judicial Circuit through the Orange County Clerk of Court under Florida Statutes Chapter 61.

What Does an Uncontested Divorce Lawyer in Orlando Do?

An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on every issue: property division, debts, time-sharing, child support, and alimony. When you agree on all of that, hiring an uncontested divorce lawyer in Orlando is about getting the paperwork right — not fighting in court.

Our firm prepares and reviews your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, drafts the Marital Settlement Agreement (and a Parenting Plan if you have minor children), confirms your Financial Affidavits comply with mandatory disclosure, and makes sure your case is filed correctly in the Ninth Judicial Circuit. As a licensed Florida attorney, we can answer your legal questions and catch substantive errors before they cause a delay.

The entire uncontested package is a $750 flat attorney fee — the same in Orange County as anywhere else in Florida. There is no hourly billing and no surprise invoice. Court costs are separate and paid directly to the clerk.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Orlando?

The attorney fee for a full uncontested divorce with our firm is $750, flat, statewide. On top of that attorney fee, you pay the Orange County court costs directly to the clerk.

As of July 2026, the filing fee for a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in Orange County is approximately $408-$410 (frequently reported around $409, with roughly a 4% convenience fee added on card payments, pushing card-paid totals toward $425). Court filing fees are set by each county clerk and are separate from our flat attorney fee. As of July 2026, verify the current amount with your local clerk at myorangeclerk.com.

Here is how the total breaks down for a typical Orlando uncontested case:

Compare that to a traditional contested retainer, which commonly runs $5,000-$7,500 or more once hourly fees accumulate. For a genuinely uncontested case, a flat, transparent fee keeps the cost predictable. For a deeper cost breakdown, see our guide on uncontested divorce cost in Orlando.

Where Do You File an Uncontested Divorce in Orlando?

Orlando sits in Orange County, which is part of Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit (Orange and Osceola counties). Dissolution of marriage petitions are filed with the Orange County Clerk of Court, Family Law Division, at the Orange County Courthouse, 425 N. Orange Ave., Orlando, FL 32801.

Most filings today go through the statewide Florida Courts E-Filing Portal at myflcourtaccess.com rather than in person. The Orange County Clerk (myorangeclerk.com) also provides self-help family law resources and standardized form packets. Statewide standardized family law forms are published at flcourts.gov.

Under Florida Statute 61.021, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for at least 6 months before filing. You prove residency with a Florida driver's license, voter registration, or a corroborating witness. Florida is a no-fault state under Florida Statute 61.052 — the only ground is that the marriage is irretrievably broken, so you never prove wrongdoing.

For uncontested cases in the Ninth Judicial Circuit, the court typically schedules a brief final hearing to review the agreement and enter the Final Judgment of Dissolution. Simplified dissolution requires both spouses to appear; other uncontested cases may sometimes proceed with limited or no appearance depending on the judge and case type. The court controls scheduling.

Simplified Dissolution vs. Regular Uncontested Dissolution in Florida

Florida offers two uncontested paths, and choosing the right one matters. Simplified dissolution under Florida Statute 61.052(2) is faster but has strict eligibility rules and waives certain rights. Regular uncontested dissolution is more flexible.

Simplified dissolution (Form 12.901(a)) requires no minor or dependent children, neither spouse seeking alimony, agreement on all property and debt, and both spouses to appear at the final hearing. It is fast, but you waive the right to a trial and to financial disclosure from the other spouse.

Regular uncontested dissolution uses Form 12.901(b)(1) when there are marital assets but no minor children, or Form 12.901(b)(2) when there are children. It is resolved through a written Marital Settlement Agreement — and a Parenting Plan if minor children are involved.

What Documents Does an Uncontested Orlando Divorce Require?

The centerpiece of most uncontested cases is the Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA). For simplified dissolution, the standard form is Form 12.902(f)(3). The MSA must fully resolve:

• Division of marital property under equitable distribution (Florida Statute 61.075)
• Responsibility for marital debts
• Time-sharing and parental responsibility, if there are minor children (Florida Statute 61.13)
• Child support, calculated under the Florida guidelines (Florida Statute 61.30)
• Alimony, or a mutual waiver of alimony

Florida requires mandatory disclosure through a Family Law Financial Affidavit — Form 12.902(b) (short form) or Form 12.902(c) (long form) — generally within 45 days of service. Spouses may jointly agree to waive filing the affidavits by filing Form 12.902(k) (Notice of Joint Verified Waiver of Filing Financial Affidavits), authorized under Florida Family Law Rule 12.285.

If you have children, the Parenting Plan must specify each parent's schedule and how decisions about education, healthcare, and activities are made. Florida applies an equal time-sharing presumption (effective July 1, 2023) under Florida Statute 61.13(3), though courts can deviate based on the best interests of the child.

When Is an Uncontested Divorce a Good Fit — and When Isn't It?

A flat-fee uncontested divorce is a strong fit when both spouses genuinely agree on everything and are willing to sign. It keeps costs predictable and the process quick. It is not the right tool when there is real disagreement over property, support, or the children — because if spouses cannot agree, the case becomes contested, and the flat fee does not apply.

If your case starts contested but you later reach agreement, you may be able to convert it. See our guide on converting a contested divorce to uncontested in Florida. And if issues involve retirement accounts, self-employment income, or an out-of-state spouse, an attorney's review matters even more.

Attorney-Prepared Divorce vs. Online Form Services

When people search for the cheapest or DIY Orlando divorce, they often land on non-lawyer document-preparation or typing services. Those services can fill in blanks, but they cannot give legal advice, cannot tell you whether your MSA is legally complete, and cannot catch a substantive error that later derails your final hearing.

An uncontested divorce attorney in Orlando does more than typing. As a licensed Florida attorney, our firm reviews your specific facts, confirms the right form path (simplified vs. regular), drafts an MSA and Parenting Plan that actually cover what Florida law requires, and answers your legal questions along the way — all for the same $750 flat fee. For self-employed spouses whose income needs careful disclosure, see uncontested divorce for the self-employed in Florida.
