Uncontested Divorce No Children Hialeah FL: $750 (2026)

An uncontested divorce with no children in Hialeah costs a $750 flat attorney fee at the Law Office of Antonio G. Jimenez, plus separate court costs (about $408-$410 in Miami-Dade) and notary fees. Florida requires 6 months of residency (F.S. 61.021) and imposes no waiting period, so a no-kids case is often the fastest, simplest path to a Final Judgment.

What Is an Uncontested Divorce With No Children in Hialeah?

An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses agree on every issue in the marriage: division of property, division of debts, and (where applicable) alimony. When a couple has no minor or dependent children, the case skips the parenting plan, child support worksheet, and time-sharing schedule entirely, which removes several of the most disputed and time-consuming pieces of a Florida dissolution.

Florida is a no-fault state under Florida Statute 61.052. The only ground for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. You do not need to prove adultery, abandonment, or cruelty, and you do not need your spouse's permission to end the marriage. For a childless couple who agree on how to split what they own and owe, an uncontested divorce no children Hialeah case is usually the most direct route the law allows.

Hialeah residents file in the 11th Judicial Circuit through the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Courts. Our firm is a licensed Florida law firm that prepares uncontested divorces statewide, in all 67 counties, for the same $750 flat attorney fee.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce With No Children Cost in Hialeah?

The attorney fee is $750, flat and statewide. That covers preparing and reviewing your dissolution documents, ensuring your Marital Settlement Agreement is complete, and answering your legal questions through the process. Two costs are separate and paid by you:

• Court filing fee: approximately $408-$410 in Miami-Dade County for a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Court filing fees are set by each county clerk and are separate from our flat attorney fee. As of August 2026, verify the current amount with the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Courts.
• Notary fees: roughly $50 per session for signatures that must be notarized.

A no-children case has no child support add-on fee, so the total out-of-pocket cost is typically the $750 attorney fee plus the county filing fee and notary. Compare that to a traditional retainer of $5,000 to $7,500 for a fully litigated divorce, and the value of a flat, transparent fee for an agreed case is clear.

What Are the Two Uncontested Paths for a Childless Couple?

Florida gives couples with no minor children two ways to finalize an agreed divorce. Choosing the right one depends on whether either spouse wants alimony and whether both can appear at a final hearing.

Simplified Dissolution of Marriage (F.S. 61.052(2))

Simplified dissolution uses Form 12.901(a), the Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage. It is available only when: there are no minor or dependent children and the wife is not pregnant; neither spouse is seeking alimony; both spouses agree on how to divide property and debts; and both spouses are willing to appear together at the final hearing. Simplified dissolution is faster, but it requires you to waive the right to a trial and the right to financial disclosure from the other spouse.

Regular Uncontested Dissolution

If either spouse wants alimony, or one spouse cannot appear at the final hearing, the case proceeds as a regular uncontested dissolution using Form 12.901(b)(1), the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with Property but No Dependent or Minor Children. The agreement is documented in a written Marital Settlement Agreement, and financial disclosure applies unless the parties agree to waive filing it.

Simplified Dissolution vs. Regular Uncontested Dissolution

Both paths carry the same $750 flat attorney fee. Our firm reviews your situation and recommends the path that fits, so you are not locked into the wrong form.

How Do You File an Uncontested Divorce With No Children in Hialeah?

Miami-Dade also maintains family law self-help resources for residents who want to review the standardized forms at flcourts.gov. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see how to file an uncontested divorce in Hialeah, and for the courthouse details, see our Hialeah divorce court guide.

How Long Does a No-Children Uncontested Divorce Take in Hialeah?

Florida imposes no mandatory waiting period after filing, which is unusual among states. That means the main driver of timing is the court's calendar, not a statutory delay. A cooperative, no-children uncontested case with a signed agreement can often reach a final hearing within a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on how quickly documents are signed and how the 11th Circuit schedules hearings.

Simplified dissolution can be the quickest because it skips financial disclosure, but it requires both spouses to appear together. The court controls scheduling, so no attorney can guarantee a specific date. What speeds things up most is having complete, correctly prepared documents on the first submission, which is exactly what attorney preparation is designed to deliver.

What Does the Marital Settlement Agreement Cover?

The Marital Settlement Agreement is the centerpiece of most uncontested cases. For a childless couple, it must clearly resolve:

• Real property: the marital home or any other real estate, including who keeps it and who is responsible for the mortgage.
• Personal property: vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and household items.
• Marital debts: credit cards, loans, and other liabilities acquired during the marriage.
• Alimony: whether either spouse receives support, and if so, what type and duration, or a mutual waiver.

Florida divides marital property by equitable distribution under F.S. 61.075, meaning fairly but not necessarily 50/50. In an uncontested case, you and your spouse decide the split yourselves in the MSA, and the court generally approves an agreement the parties reached voluntarily. Because your agreement becomes a binding court order, having a licensed Florida attorney prepare and review it protects you from vague or incomplete terms that cause disputes later.

Online Divorce vs. Attorney-Prepared Divorce: What Is the Difference?

Many couples searching for a quick divorce in Hialeah find non-lawyer document services or online form websites. Those services can type forms, but by law they cannot give legal advice, cannot tell you whether simplified dissolution is right for your situation, and cannot catch a substantive error in your Marital Settlement Agreement.

An attorney-prepared uncontested divorce is full representation by a licensed Florida attorney. We prepare and review your documents, confirm the correct petition form for a no-children case, make sure the MSA is complete, and answer your legal questions. This is not about whether you are allowed to file on your own; Florida law permits self-representation. It is about whether you want a licensed attorney standing behind the documents that will legally end your marriage, at a flat fee that is disclosed up front. See how we compare the options in our online divorce Hialeah guide.

As an attorney who has practiced Florida family law since 2006 and reviewed thousands of dissolution files, I have seen how a single missing clause in an MSA can turn an agreed divorce into a contested fight months later. A flat-fee uncontested divorce exists to prevent exactly that.

When Is a Case Too Complex for the Flat Fee?

The $750 flat fee applies to genuinely uncontested cases. If you and your spouse cannot agree on how to divide property, debts, or alimony, the case is contested and the flat fee does not apply. Cases involving disputed business valuations, contested alimony claims, or a spouse who will not cooperate typically need a different level of service. Our firm will tell you honestly if your situation falls outside the uncontested category, and we can point you toward the right resources.
