Online Divorce Orlando FL: File for $750 (2026 Guide)

You can file an uncontested divorce online in Orlando for a $750 flat attorney fee, with Orange County court costs of roughly $408-$425 and notary fees separate. Our firm prepares your documents and e-files them through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal (myflcourtaccess.com) with the Ninth Judicial Circuit, so most of the process happens remotely without repeated trips to the courthouse.

What Does "Online Divorce" Actually Mean in Orlando?

"Online divorce" in Orlando does not mean a court website grants your divorce automatically. It means your Florida divorce paperwork is prepared, signed, and electronically filed with the Orange County Clerk of Court through the statewide Florida Courts E-Filing Portal at myflcourtaccess.com, rather than by walking paper documents to the counter.

For an uncontested case in Orlando, remote filing works well because both spouses already agree on every issue. When our firm handles your file, we draft the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, the Marital Settlement Agreement, the financial disclosures, and any parenting documents, then e-file them with the Ninth Judicial Circuit. You review and sign electronically or before a notary, and we manage the docket.

The dissolution itself is still governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 61. Under F.S. 61.052, the only ground for divorce in Florida is that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" — Florida is a no-fault state, so you never prove adultery, cruelty, or abandonment. What changes with a virtual divorce in Orlando is the delivery method, not the underlying legal standard.

Can You Get a Divorce Completely Online in Florida?

Most of an Orlando uncontested divorce can be completed online, but Florida law still requires human steps that are not fully digital. You can file, serve, and disclose electronically, yet certain documents must be notarized, and Florida sometimes requires a brief final hearing.

Here is what can happen remotely versus what cannot:

• Remote: preparing and e-filing the petition, exchanging financial affidavits, signing the Marital Settlement Agreement, and submitting the Final Judgment for the judge's signature.
• In person or notarized: the Petition for Simplified Dissolution and the Marital Settlement Agreement generally require notarization; a notary can often be remote (Florida authorizes remote online notarization), but a signature witness or notary is still involved.
• Possibly in person: for a simplified dissolution under F.S. 61.052(2), both spouses must appear at the final hearing, which the Ninth Judicial Circuit may allow by video in uncontested matters.

Because requirements shift depending on whether you have children and which uncontested path you use, our firm confirms the exact steps for your Orange County case before filing. That is a core reason to file divorce online in Orlando with an attorney rather than a non-lawyer form service — the service cannot advise you on which hearings or notarizations your specific case needs.

Where Do You File an Online Divorce in Orlando?

Orlando divorces are filed in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, in and for Orange County, through the Orange County Clerk of Court. The clerk's family law division processes dissolution of marriage cases, and its records and forms are available at myorangeclerk.com. The courthouse is located at 425 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801.

Under F.S. 61.021, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for at least 6 months before filing. Residency is proven by a Florida driver's license, voter registration card, or a corroborating witness who can attest to your residency. Florida has no separate waiting period before filing — the 20-day period referenced in the process is the responding spouse's time to answer after being served, not a delay before you can file.

All electronic filings route through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal at myflcourtaccess.com, which is mandatory for attorneys and available to self-represented filers. Orange County also provides family law self-help resources for residents who file without counsel. Standardized Florida family law forms are published at flcourts.gov.

How Much Does an Online Divorce Cost in Orlando?

An online uncontested divorce in Orlando has two separate cost buckets: the attorney fee and the court costs. Our firm charges a flat $750 attorney fee for an uncontested Florida divorce — the same price statewide in all 67 counties. The Orange County filing fee (court cost) is separate and is set by the local clerk.

As of July 2026, the Orange County Clerk of Court charges approximately $408 for the base Petition for Dissolution of Marriage filing fee, and roughly $425.16 when paid by card because of a convenience fee. A summons for service adds about $10, and a process server typically costs $40-$75 if your spouse must be personally served. 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.

If you cannot afford the filing fee, Florida Family Law Form 12.902(a), the Application for Determination of Civil Indigent Status, lets you ask the clerk to defer the fee. Compared with a traditional contested retainer of $5,000-$7,500, a flat $750 attorney fee for an uncontested case is a transparent, predictable alternative for spouses who already agree.

What Are the Two Uncontested Divorce Paths in Florida?

Florida offers two uncontested routes, and choosing the right one matters because they use different forms and produce different rights. Both can be filed online in Orlando.

Simplified dissolution under F.S. 61.052(2) uses Form 12.901(a), the Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage. It is available only when the couple has no minor or dependent children, neither spouse seeks alimony, both agree on property and debt division, and both spouses are willing to appear at the final hearing. It is faster, but it waives your right to a trial and to financial disclosure from the other spouse.

Regular uncontested dissolution is used when there are minor children, alimony is involved, or one spouse cannot appear. It uses Form 12.901(b)(1) (Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with Property but No Dependent or Minor Children) or Form 12.901(b)(2) (with dependent or minor children). The couple resolves everything through a written Marital Settlement Agreement and, when children are involved, a Parenting Plan under F.S. 61.13.

Our firm reviews your facts and files under the correct path so you do not accidentally waive protections you need.

What Documents Are Required to File Divorce Online in Orlando?

Every uncontested Orlando case is built around a core set of standardized Florida family law forms, all available at flcourts.gov and e-filed through myflcourtaccess.com. The Marital Settlement Agreement is the centerpiece — it is the written contract that resolves property, debts, time-sharing, child support, and alimony.

Common documents include:

• Petition for Dissolution of Marriage: Form 12.901(a), 12.901(b)(1), or 12.901(b)(2), depending on your path.
• Marital Settlement Agreement: the standard simplified form is Form 12.902(f)(3); it must cover property, debts, time-sharing, child support, and alimony.
• Family Law Financial Affidavit: Form 12.902(b) (short form, income under $50,000) or Form 12.902(c) (long form), generally due within 45 days.
• Notice of Joint Verified Waiver of Filing Financial Affidavits: Form 12.902(k), if both spouses agree to waive filing affidavits under Florida Family Law Rule 12.285.
• Parenting Plan: required under F.S. 61.13 in any case with minor children, reflecting Florida's equal time-sharing presumption effective July 1, 2023.
• Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage: the order the judge signs to end the marriage.

Because a missing or incomplete MSA or parenting plan is the most common reason an otherwise agreed case stalls, having a licensed Florida attorney prepare and review these forms is the practical value of an attorney-prepared online divorce. A non-lawyer typing service can fill in blanks but cannot advise you on whether your settlement terms are complete or enforceable.

How Long Does an Online Divorce Take in Orlando?

An uncontested online divorce in Orlando commonly takes several weeks to a few months, but the court controls the calendar, so no firm can promise an exact date. Florida imposes no mandatory waiting period after filing under Chapter 61, which means uncontested cases can move faster than contested ones.

The general sequence is: the petition is e-filed, the other spouse is served or signs an Answer and Waiver, the parties exchange or waive financial affidavits within 45 days under F.S. 61.052 practice, and the Marital Settlement Agreement is submitted. The Ninth Judicial Circuit then schedules a final hearing, which for uncontested cases is typically brief and, for simplified dissolutions, requires both spouses to appear. Once the judge signs the Final Judgment, the divorce is final.

Timing depends on how quickly both spouses sign, whether service is needed, and the court's docket. If your spouse lives out of state, review our guide on an uncontested divorce when your spouse lives out of state.

Is Filing Divorce Online Right for Your Orlando Case?

Filing divorce online in Orlando is a strong fit when both spouses genuinely agree on all issues — property, debts, time-sharing, child support, and alimony. When there is real disagreement, the case is contested, and a flat uncontested fee does not apply.

An attorney-prepared online divorce is well suited if you both want dissolution, you agree on terms, and you value having a licensed Florida attorney confirm your documents are complete before they reach a judge. It may not fit if you have unresolved disputes about assets or children, if you suspect hidden assets, or if one spouse will not cooperate. Those situations may start contested, and some can later be converted — see our guide on converting a contested divorce to uncontested.

Our firm can prepare and e-file your uncontested Orlando divorce for a $750 flat attorney fee. Contact our office or ask our AI assistant Victoria to confirm whether your case qualifies as uncontested before you file.
