Uncontested Divorce 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 — the same price statewide, in every one of Florida's 67 counties. Orange County court filing costs (about $408-$410) and notary fees are separate. You file in the Ninth Judicial Circuit through the Orange County Clerk of Courts, and most uncontested cases resolve in weeks under Florida Statutes Chapter 61.

If you and your spouse agree on everything — property, debts, time-sharing, child support, and alimony — an uncontested dissolution is the fastest, most transparent way to end your marriage in Orlando. This guide explains exactly how it works: the Ninth Judicial Circuit court that handles your case, the Orange County filing fee, the specific Florida Family Law forms you need, and what our $750 flat attorney fee covers.

What Is an Uncontested Divorce in Orlando?

An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all issues in the marriage. Florida is a no-fault state under F.S. 61.052, so the only ground is that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" — you do not prove adultery, abandonment, or cruelty, and you do not need your spouse's permission.

To qualify as uncontested, you and your spouse must agree on:

• Division of marital property and assets
• Responsibility for marital debts
• Time-sharing and a parenting plan (if you have minor children)
• Child support amounts (if applicable)
• Alimony, or a mutual waiver of alimony

If you agree on all of these, your case stays uncontested and the $750 flat fee applies. If you cannot agree on even one issue, the case is contested, and different rules and fees apply. Florida uses equitable distribution under F.S. 61.075 — property is divided fairly, not automatically 50/50 — but in an uncontested case, you and your spouse decide the split yourselves and put it in writing.

Where Do You File for Divorce in Orlando?

Orlando sits in Orange County, which is part of Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit. Dissolution of marriage petitions are filed with the Orange County Clerk of Courts and heard in the circuit court's family law (domestic relations) division. The main courthouse is the Orange County Courthouse at 425 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801.

Under F.S. 61.021, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for 6 months before filing. You prove residency with a Florida driver's license, voter registration, or a sworn corroborating witness. You file in the county where either spouse resides, so Orange County is correct if you or your spouse live in Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee, or anywhere else in the county.

Most documents are submitted electronically through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal at myflcourtaccess.com. E-filing is required for attorneys and available to self-represented litigants. The Ninth Judicial Circuit and the Orange County Clerk publish family law self-help resources, and standardized forms are available at flcourts.gov. Because our firm handles the filing, we manage the E-Filing Portal submission for you.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Orlando?

Our attorney fee is a flat $750 for an uncontested Orlando divorce — the same price whether or not you have minor children, and the same price in every Florida county. Court costs and notary fees are separate and paid by you.

The Orange County Clerk of Courts sets the local filing fee. As of July 2026, the base petition for dissolution of marriage is approximately $408, plus about $10 to issue a summons — roughly $418 total to open the case. 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 the Orange County Clerk before filing, as amounts change and online payments may add a small convenience fee.

Here is how the flat fee compares to traditional Florida divorce representation:

If you cannot afford the court filing fee, Florida lets you file a Motion to Defer Filing Fees (Form 12.902(a)) with the clerk. For a deeper cost breakdown, see our guide on uncontested divorce cost in Florida.

Simplified Dissolution vs. Regular Uncontested Dissolution

Florida offers two uncontested paths, and choosing the right one matters. A simplified dissolution under F.S. 61.052(2) is faster but has strict eligibility limits and waives certain rights. A regular uncontested dissolution is more flexible and works for families with children or alimony.

A simplified dissolution requires no minor or dependent children, no alimony, agreement on property and debt, and both spouses appearing at the final hearing. It uses the Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage (Form 12.901(a)) and a Marital Settlement Agreement for Simplified Dissolution (Form 12.902(f)(3)).

A regular uncontested dissolution is used when you have children, alimony, or one spouse cannot appear. It uses Form 12.901(b)(1) (property but no minor children) or Form 12.901(b)(2) (with minor children), resolved through a written Marital Settlement Agreement and, if you have children, a Parenting Plan. Our office reviews your situation and recommends the correct path — see our Florida uncontested divorce checklist for the full document list.

What Forms Do You Need to File in Orange County?

Florida uses standardized family law forms available at flcourts.gov. The exact set depends on your path and whether you have minor children. The core documents in an Orlando uncontested case include:

• Petition for Dissolution: Form 12.901(a) (simplified), 12.901(b)(1) (no minor children), or 12.901(b)(2) (with children)
• Marital Settlement Agreement: the centerpiece of most uncontested cases, covering property, debts, time-sharing, child support, and alimony (Form 12.902(f)(3) for simplified dissolution)
• Family Law Financial Affidavit: Form 12.902(b) (short form, income under $50,000) 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 lets spouses agree to waive filing the affidavits under Florida Family Law Rule 12.285
• Parenting Plan and Child Support Guidelines Worksheet: required when minor children are involved

The Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) is where your agreement becomes enforceable. A complete MSA must address every marital asset and debt, the time-sharing schedule and parental responsibility, any child support (calculated under F.S. 61.30), and alimony or its waiver. A missing or vague MSA term is one of the most common reasons an otherwise uncontested case stalls — which is why attorney preparation matters.

Attorney-Prepared vs. DIY Online Divorce Forms

Many Orlando residents search for the cheapest online divorce or a DIY form service. It helps to understand the difference. Non-lawyer document-preparation and typing services can fill in blanks, but by law they cannot give legal advice, cannot tell you whether your MSA is complete, and cannot catch a substantive error before the judge does.

With our firm, a licensed Florida attorney prepares and reviews your documents, confirms your MSA and parenting plan cover every required issue, and answers your legal questions — all for the $750 flat fee. That is full representation, not a form-filling service. An uncontested flat-fee divorce is an excellent fit when you and your spouse genuinely agree on everything and your finances are straightforward. It is not the right fit when there are unresolved disputes, hidden or complex assets, or safety concerns — those cases are contested and need a different approach. If your case starts contested but you later reach agreement, read how to convert a contested divorce to uncontested in Florida.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Orlando?

Florida has no mandatory waiting period after filing — the state's 20-day figure is the deadline for the served spouse to respond, not a waiting period. In an uncontested case where both spouses sign the paperwork, timing depends mostly on the Orange County court's scheduling of the final hearing, which the court controls.

For most uncontested Orlando cases, the process moves quickly once the signed MSA and required forms are filed. The Ninth Judicial Circuit typically holds a brief final hearing to review the agreement and enter the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage. In a simplified dissolution, both spouses must attend that hearing. Because scheduling varies by division and calendar, we do not promise a specific date — but uncontested cases are the fastest route Florida offers.
