Divorce Attorney Serving Boynton Beach & Palm Beach County
Boynton Beach is one of Palm Beach County's fastest-growing coastal cities. We file uncontested divorces for a flat $750, the same with or without children, handled entirely online.
Boynton Beach sits along Palm Beach County's coast, a community shaped by its healthcare employers, retail corridors, seasonal tourism, and an active construction sector. Many of the people who live and work here have financial lives that reflect those industries: shift-based hospital and clinic schedules, retail and hospitality income that ebbs with the tourist season, and construction work that can be project-based rather than salaried. When a marriage ends, those realities affect how a couple organizes their finances and how straightforward their divorce turns out to be. An uncontested divorce, where both spouses already agree on how to divide what they own and how to move forward, fits a lot of Boynton Beach households well.
The local challenges here tend to cluster around property and timing. Waterfront and near-water homes are common in this stretch of Palm Beach County, and putting an honest value on that kind of property matters when a couple divides their assets under Florida's equitable distribution rules. Boynton Beach also draws seasonal residents who split their year between Florida and another state, which can raise questions about whether Florida is the right place to file and whether the residency requirement is met. And with a large share of retirees and older couples in the area, dividing retirement accounts, pensions, and other long-term savings is frequently the centerpiece of the financial picture rather than an afterthought.
An AI-efficient, $750 flat-fee uncontested process is built for exactly these situations. When you and your spouse already agree, you should not be paying the $5,000 to $7,500 that a traditional retainer costs. My firm uses technology to handle the intake and document preparation efficiently, which keeps the price low and the timeline short, while I personally review the paperwork before it is filed. You answer questions at your own pace, the documents get drafted around your answers, and nothing gets lost to hourly billing you did not need. The flat 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.
If you and your spouse are in agreement and both willing to sign, it is worth a few minutes to see whether you qualify for the flat-fee uncontested process. Answer a short set of questions and find out where you stand, without a consultation fee and without pressure. The court filing fee and any notary charges are separate, but the attorney fee is a straightforward $750.
Unique Divorce Challenges in Boynton Beach
Boynton Beach's waterfront and near-water homes need an accurate valuation before you divide them, because under Florida's equitable distribution rules an inflated or lowball number on the marital home throws off the entire settlement, and canal-front or intracoastal properties often carry value that a quick guess misses.
Many Boynton Beach residents are seasonal, splitting the year between Florida and a northern home, which raises real questions about whether Florida is the proper place to file and whether the six-month residency requirement is satisfied before an uncontested divorce can move forward.
With a large population of retirees and older couples in the area, dividing retirement accounts, pensions, and IRAs is often the main financial issue in a Boynton Beach divorce, and getting the account division documented correctly in the settlement is what keeps a later distribution from turning into a dispute.
Households tied to Boynton Beach's healthcare, retail, and tourism work sometimes have income that shifts with shift schedules or the seasonal calendar, so it helps to have the financial disclosures reflect that reality clearly rather than assuming a flat monthly figure.
Construction-sector families in the area may have tools, equipment, or work vehicles that are part of the marital estate, and listing and valuing those items honestly upfront keeps an uncontested filing from stalling.
Couples who own a seasonal second residence elsewhere need to account for that property in the settlement even when the divorce is filed in Palm Beach County, since Florida still divides the marital interest in out-of-state property between the spouses.

# Uncontested Divorce in Boynton Beach, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Boynton Beach residents, prepared and reviewed by a licensed attorney before anything is filed, and managed 100% remotely. You pay the $409 court filing fee separately to the Palm Beach County Clerk. Florida only requires that your marriage be irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, so most agreeing couples qualify without proving fault.
Does Your Boynton Beach Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, including property, debts, support, and any parenting arrangements. Disagreement on even one issue can push a case into contested territory, where hourly billing and court fights take over. The table below shows how common Boynton Beach situations usually sort out.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No minor children and no shared property | Yes, often the simplest path |
| Children or property, but full written agreement on everything | Yes, with a marital settlement agreement |
| Spouse is non-responsive or cannot be located | Not yet, requires service steps before it can proceed |
| Active disagreement on support, assets, or time-sharing | No, this is a contested matter |
In my experience, many Boynton Beach couples assume that owning a waterfront condo or splitting a retirement account makes their case contested. It does not. As long as you both agree on how those assets are divided, the case stays uncontested no matter how valuable the property is.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Boynton Beach?
An uncontested divorce in Boynton Beach costs a flat $750 attorney fee at FloridaDivorce.law, plus a handful of separate court-related costs you would pay in any divorce. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges. Here is the full breakdown so you can budget with confidence.
| Cost | Amount | Who you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-fee attorney service (document prep, review, filing, guidance) | $750 | FloridaDivorce.law |
| Court filing fee (petitioner) | $409 | Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court |
| Service of process (if spouse must be formally served) | Varies | Sheriff or private process server |
| Parenting course (only if minor children) | About $20 to $40 | State-approved provider |
The flat fee covers document preparation, attorney review, e-filing, and guidance through final judgment. The same $750 applies whether or not you have minor children.
What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Boynton Beach?
You must show that one spouse has lived in Florida for at least six months before filing, under Fla. Stat. §61.021. This residency rule applies statewide, so living in Boynton Beach, anywhere else in Palm Beach County, or any Florida city satisfies it. You typically prove residency with a Florida driver's license, voter registration, or a sworn statement from a witness.
What if I just moved to Boynton Beach?
If neither spouse has reached six months of Florida residency, you cannot file yet. The six-month clock counts continuous Florida residence, not specifically time in Boynton Beach. Seasonal residents who split time between Florida and another state should confirm their domicile carefully, since jurisdiction questions come up often in Palm Beach County. We review your residency facts before filing so the petition is not rejected.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Boynton Beach? (Step-by-Step)
Filing an uncontested divorce in Boynton Beach follows a defined sequence through the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit and the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court. Here is the path most cases take.
The courthouse serving Boynton Beach divorces sits at 205 N Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, and the Clerk can be reached at (561) 355-2996. With remote handling, you never need to drive there yourself.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Boynton Beach?
Florida uses standardized family law forms, available at flcourts.gov, that every uncontested divorce relies on. The exact set depends on whether you file a simplified or regular dissolution and whether children or property are involved. The table below covers the core documents.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| 12.901(a) | Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage | No minor children, no alimony, both sign |
| 12.901(b)(1) / 12.901(b)(2) | Petition for Dissolution (with or without dependent children) | Regular uncontested cases |
| 12.902 | Financial Affidavit and Disclosure (or waiver) | Mandatory disclosure under Rule 12.285 |
| 12.913 | Documents related to service of process | When a spouse must be served |
| 12.990 | Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage | Entered by the judge to finalize |
Choosing the wrong form is one of the most common reasons a Boynton Beach petition gets bounced back by the Clerk. We select and complete the correct forms for your specific situation.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Boynton Beach?
Many uncontested divorces in Boynton Beach finalize in about two weeks when both spouses sign promptly, though court timing always varies. The single fixed delay is the 20-day waiting period under Fla. Stat. §61.19, which begins after the petition is filed. The table below shows a realistic timeline.
| Stage | Typical timing |
|---|---|
| Document preparation and attorney review | 1 to 3 business days |
| E-filing with the Palm Beach County Clerk | Same day once documents are signed |
| 20-day statutory waiting period (Fla. Stat. §61.19) | About 3 weeks minimum |
| Final review and judge's signature | Days to a few weeks, depending on the docket |
| Realistic total | Often around 4 to 6 weeks, sometimes faster |
When both spouses cooperate and the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit docket is light, finalization can move quickly. I never guarantee a specific date, because court scheduling is outside any attorney's control.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Boynton Beach?
At a final hearing, a Fifteenth Judicial Circuit judge confirms that your paperwork is complete, that residency and grounds are met, and that your agreement is fair, then signs the Final Judgment. For a cooperative uncontested case, the hearing is usually brief and straightforward. If property division is involved, the judge confirms the terms align with your settlement under Fla. Stat. §61.075, and if children are involved, the parenting plan and support figures under Fla. Stat. §61.30 are reviewed.
Can the final hearing be waived in Boynton Beach?
In many regular uncontested cases, a short final hearing is still expected, though some can be handled by submitting documents without an in-person appearance, depending on the judge and case type. Simplified dissolutions under Form 12.901(a) typically require both spouses to appear briefly. We advise you on which path your case follows and handle the scheduling so you are never guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions: Divorce in Boynton Beach
How much does an uncontested divorce cost in Boynton Beach?
Our flat fee is $750 for an uncontested divorce in Boynton Beach, regardless of whether you have minor children. This covers attorney preparation of all required court documents. The court filing fee (approximately $425.16 total, including the 4% card processing surcharge; verify the current amount with your county clerk) is paid separately to the clerk of court.
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Boynton Beach?
Most uncontested divorces in Boynton Beach are typically finalized in about 2–4 weeks after filing once both spouses have signed the required documents and any 20-day response period (or waiver of service) has been satisfied. Florida law sets a 20-day waiting period after filing before final judgment (F.S. 61.19), court timing varies by county, and no specific date can be guaranteed. 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 Boynton Beach?
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.
We own a waterfront home in Boynton Beach. How does that affect an uncontested divorce?
Waterfront and near-water property is common here, and the key is that you and your spouse agree on its value and on who keeps it or whether it is sold. Florida uses equitable distribution, so the home is divided along with your other marital assets and debts. As long as the two of you have reached an agreement on the home, an uncontested divorce works fine; the value simply needs to be stated honestly in your financial disclosures. If you disagree on what the home is worth or who should keep it, that would make the case contested, and I would refer you to Divorce.law's attorney network rather than the flat-fee process.
I'm a seasonal resident who lives in Boynton Beach part of the year. Can I still file for divorce in Florida?
Florida requires that at least one spouse has lived in the state for six months before filing. Seasonal residency is common in Palm Beach County, so the practical question is whether you or your spouse actually meet that six-month residency test, which is usually shown with a Florida driver's license, voter registration, or a witness who can confirm your Florida residence. If one of you qualifies, you can file here. During the intake, I gather the facts needed to confirm residency and venue before anything is filed, so this gets sorted out early rather than becoming a surprise later.
