Divorce Attorney Serving Boca Raton & Palm Beach County
Boca Raton's affluent communities and corporate headquarters mean complex divorces involving executive compensation, restricted stock, and high-value real estate portfolios.
Boca Raton sits at the heart of Palm Beach County's business corridor, a community shaped by technology firms, major healthcare systems, finance and wealth-management offices, and a strong concentration of colleges and private schools. Those industries draw a particular kind of resident: executives with equity packages, physicians and healthcare professionals with complex compensation, finance professionals who understand assets, and families deeply invested in education. When a marriage ends here, the divorce tends to reflect that reality. The couples are often financially sophisticated, they already understand their numbers, and many of them simply want a clean, dignified end to the marriage without turning it into a war.
That is exactly where the friction shows up. A technology executive may hold stock options, restricted stock units, or other equity compensation that vests over years, and both spouses need those assets described clearly so their agreement is complete. Finance and healthcare professionals often carry a mix of deferred compensation, retirement accounts, and business interests that a boilerplate form was never built to handle. And in a community that prizes education, disputes over private school tuition and college savings accounts can become the real sticking point even when everything else is settled. These are not signs of a contested case. They are simply the details that a Boca Raton uncontested divorce has to get right the first time.
An AI-efficient $750 flat-fee uncontested process fits Boca Raton residents precisely because they already agree on the big picture and value their time. When both spouses are on the same page, the work is not fighting in court; it is organizing the information accurately and preparing the paperwork correctly. Our intake uses AI to guide you through each detail methodically, so equity compensation, retirement accounts, and education savings are all captured, and then a licensed Florida attorney reviews the drafted documents. You get the care of an attorney and the efficiency of a modern process, at a flat fee instead of the $5,000 to $7,500 retainers traditional firms quote for the same uncontested outcome.
If you and your spouse agree that the marriage is over and you are both willing to sign, you may be a good fit for this flat-fee process even if your finances are more layered than average. The court filing fee and notary costs are separate, and the $750 covers the attorney work. Take a few minutes to see whether you qualify, and let us help you close this chapter cleanly so you can move forward.
Unique Divorce Challenges in Boca Raton
High-net-worth technology executive divorces in Boca Raton often involve compensation structures far beyond a simple salary, so the marital settlement agreement needs to describe each asset accurately to be complete and enforceable.
Stock options, restricted stock units, and other equity compensation common among the area's tech and finance professionals vest over time, and both spouses benefit when those interests are clearly identified and addressed in the paperwork.
Private school tuition commitments are a real consideration for many Boca Raton families, and spouses who agree on everything else still want those expectations written down clearly in their agreement.
College savings accounts, including 529 plans, are a point of focus in this education-minded community, and a thorough uncontested agreement makes clear how those funds are treated and who manages them.
Healthcare and finance professionals in the area frequently hold a mix of retirement accounts and deferred compensation, which an uncontested process can handle smoothly as long as each account is captured during intake.

Uncontested Divorce in Boca Raton, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Boca Raton residents, prepared and reviewed by a licensed attorney before anything is filed, and managed 100% remotely. You pay the $409 Palm Beach County court filing fee separately. Florida allows divorce once the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, with no need to prove fault or blame your spouse.
Does Your Boca Raton Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your divorce qualifies as uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, including property, debts, and any time-sharing arrangement for children. Disagreement on even one point can push a case into contested territory, but full agreement keeps it simple and affordable.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No minor children and no shared property or debts | Yes, the cleanest path |
| Children or property, but you both agree on every term | Yes, with a parenting plan or settlement attached |
| Spouse is non-responsive or cannot be located | No, this needs a different process first |
| Active disagreement on money, the house, or the kids | No, this is contested until resolved |
In my experience, many Boca Raton couples assume they are contested because they own a home or have retirement accounts, when in fact they already agree on how to split everything. Agreement is what matters, not how much you own. A high earner with stock options and a paid-off marriage can still file uncontested if both spouses sign off on the terms.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Boca Raton?
An uncontested divorce in Boca Raton costs $750 in flat attorney fees through FloridaDivorce.law, plus the separate court and service costs every Florida filer pays regardless of who prepares the documents. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges.
| Cost item | Amount | Who charges it |
|---|---|---|
| Court filing fee | $409 | Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court |
| Service of process (if spouse does not waive) | ~$40-$50 | Sheriff or private process server |
| Parenting course (only if minor children) | ~$25-$50 | State-approved online provider |
| Flat-fee attorney (preparation, review, filing) | $750 | FloridaDivorce.law |
The $750 fee is the same whether or not you have minor children; with children, the package simply adds a parenting plan, a child support guidelines worksheet, and a UCCJEA affidavit. Compare that to the $5,000 to $7,500 retainers traditional firms often request for the same uncontested matter.
What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Boca Raton?
To file for divorce in Boca Raton, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for at least six months before the petition is filed, as required by Fla. Stat. §61.021. This is a jurisdictional rule, which means the court cannot grant your divorce without it being met. You prove residency with a Florida driver's license, a Florida voter registration card, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness.
What if I just moved to Boca Raton?
You must wait until you, or your spouse, have completed six continuous months of Florida residency before filing. The clock counts physical residence in the state, not just time in Boca Raton specifically. If you moved from another state last month, you cannot file yet, but your spouse can file now if they meet the six-month threshold. Until then, hold off on submitting the petition.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Boca Raton? (Step-by-Step)
You file an uncontested divorce in Boca Raton by submitting your petition to the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court through Florida's e-filing portal, then completing a short waiting period before final judgment. Boca Raton sits in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, and cases are handled through the courthouse at 205 N Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Boca Raton?
The forms you need depend on whether you have minor children and whether you and your spouse waive financial disclosure. Florida publishes every official family law form at flcourts.gov, and FloridaDivorce.law prepares and reviews the correct set for you.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| Form 12.901(a) | Petition for Simplified Dissolution | No minor children, no support, both file together |
| Form 12.901(b)(1)/(b)(2) | Petition for Dissolution (regular) | Children or contested-risk issues handled by agreement |
| Form 12.902 series | Financial Affidavit / disclosure or waiver | Most cases, unless properly waived |
| Form 12.913 | Service of process documents | When the spouse does not sign a waiver |
| Form 12.990 series | Final Judgment of Dissolution | Entered by the court to finalize your divorce |
Getting the right form combination matters, because filing the wrong petition is a common reason a clerk rejects a self-prepared case. Property division terms are governed by Fla. Stat. §61.075, so any marital settlement must reflect Florida's equitable distribution framework.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Boca Raton?
An uncontested divorce in Boca Raton often finalizes in about two weeks when both spouses sign promptly, though court scheduling in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit can extend that timeline. The 20-day waiting period under Fla. Stat. §61.19 is the main mandatory delay.
| Stage | What happens | Typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Document preparation | Attorney prepares and reviews your forms | 1-3 days |
| Filing | Petition submitted at myflcourtaccess.com | Same day |
| 20-day wait | Statutory period under Fla. Stat. §61.19 | 20 days minimum |
| Final review | Court reviews and schedules final judgment | Varies by docket |
| Realistic total | Start to final judgment | ~2-6 weeks |
The waiting period is a general rule, and a Florida court may enter judgment sooner for good cause in limited circumstances. I never guarantee a specific date, because the court controls the calendar, but prompt signatures are the single biggest factor in a fast finish.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Boca Raton?
The final hearing for an uncontested divorce in Boca Raton is brief, often lasting only a few minutes, and the judge confirms that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052 and that the agreement is fair. You answer a short set of routine questions under oath, and the judge signs your final judgment.
Can the final hearing be waived in Boca Raton?
In some uncontested cases, particularly simplified dissolutions, at least one party must still attend a short final hearing, while certain regular dissolutions may be finalized without one. Whether a hearing is required depends on the type of petition and the judge's preferences in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. When a hearing is needed, it can frequently be handled by video appearance, so Boca Raton clients rarely need to drive to West Palm Beach. FloridaDivorce.law tells you exactly what to expect before your date.

Frequently Asked Questions: Divorce in Boca Raton
How much does an uncontested divorce cost in Boca Raton?
Our flat fee is $750 for an uncontested divorce in Boca Raton, regardless of whether you have minor children. This covers attorney preparation of all required court documents. The court filing fee ($425.16 total, including the 4% card processing surcharge) is paid separately to the clerk of court.
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Boca Raton?
Most uncontested divorces in Boca Raton are finalized in 2 weeks or less once both spouses have signed the required documents and the 20-day response period (or waiver of service) has been satisfied. Cases involving minor children may take slightly longer to accommodate the mandatory Parent Education Course.
What if my spouse and I don't agree on everything?
Our $750 flat-fee service covers uncontested divorces only — cases where you and your spouse already agree on property division, time-sharing, and support. If you're not fully in agreement, we can refer you to an experienced Florida family law attorney better suited to a contested matter.
Do I need to appear in court for an uncontested divorce in Boca Raton?
No. Florida law allows uncontested divorces to be finalized without a court appearance when both spouses have signed the settlement agreement and all required disclosures have been exchanged. The judge reviews and signs the final judgment based on the filed paperwork.
My spouse and I both work in tech and hold stock options and RSUs. Can we still use the $750 flat-fee uncontested divorce in Boca Raton?
Yes, as long as you both agree on how to divide everything and are willing to sign, equity compensation does not automatically make your divorce contested. Florida uses equitable distribution, so the key is describing your stock options, restricted stock units, and any other equity compensation accurately in your agreement. Our AI-guided intake walks you through identifying those assets step by step, and a licensed Florida attorney reviews the drafted documents before anything is filed. What matters is your agreement, not the complexity of your compensation.
We agree on custody but not on how to handle private school tuition and our kids' college savings. Does that make our Boca Raton divorce contested?
In Florida the terms are time-sharing and parenting plan rather than custody, and a single open question does not have to make your case contested. If you and your spouse can reach an understanding on how private school tuition and college savings accounts like 529 plans will be handled, that agreement can be written into your parenting plan and settlement documents. The uncontested process is built for couples who are willing to work out these education details together, and our intake is designed to capture them so nothing important gets left out.
