# Uncontested Divorce in Hernando County, Florida (2026 Guide)

FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Hernando County residents, prepared and reviewed by a licensed Florida attorney before anything is filed, and managed 100% remotely. You pay the separate $400 court filing fee directly to the clerk. Your divorce qualifies once you and your spouse agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052.

Does Your Hernando County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?

Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, including property, debts, and any matters involving children. Florida does not require you to prove fault. You only need to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken, which is the no-fault ground recognized under Fla. Stat. §61.052. The real question is whether the two of you are aligned, not whether your situation is simple.

In my experience, the most common mistake people make is assuming that owning a home or having children automatically makes their case contested. It does not. I have handled clean uncontested divorces for couples with a paid-off house and minor children, simply because the spouses had already talked everything through and just needed it documented correctly.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Hernando County?

The total cost of an uncontested divorce in Hernando County is the court filing fee plus our flat attorney fee, with a few smaller costs that may apply depending on your situation. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges.

Start your flat-fee uncontested divorce with FloridaDivorce.law, handled remotely with no office visits required.

The $750 covers document preparation, attorney review, filing with the clerk, and guidance through to your final judgment. The $400 filing fee goes to the Hernando Clerk of the Circuit Court and is separate from our fee. If your case turns out to be contested, I will tell you directly and we will talk through next steps before any further work.

What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Hernando County?

At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for a minimum of six months before you file. This requirement comes from Fla. Stat. §61.021, and the court will not grant a dissolution without it. Only one of you needs to meet the six-month mark, so if you live in Spring Hill and your spouse moved out of state, you can still file here as long as you satisfy the residency rule.

Proof of residency is usually shown with a Florida driver license, a Florida voter registration card, or the testimony of a corroborating witness. We handle this documentation for you as part of preparing your case.

What if I just moved to Hernando County?

Residency is measured statewide, not by county. If you moved to Hernando County recently but have lived elsewhere in Florida for at least six months, you meet the requirement under Fla. Stat. §61.021. If you just relocated to Florida from another state, you generally must wait until you reach the six-month mark before filing.

How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Hernando County? (Step-by-Step)

Filing an uncontested divorce in Hernando County follows a clear sequence, and our flat fee covers the attorney work at each stage so you are not navigating it alone.

What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Hernando County?

The forms you need depend on whether you have children, property, or requests for support, but they all come from the Florida Supreme Court approved family law forms. We select, complete, and review the correct set for your specific case.

You can review the official forms directly at flcourts.gov. Choosing the wrong petition is one of the most common reasons a clerk rejects a self-prepared filing, which is exactly the kind of delay attorney review prevents.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Hernando County?

Most uncontested divorces in Hernando County finalize within a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on how quickly both spouses complete their paperwork and how the court schedules review. Court timing varies by county, so the range below is realistic rather than guaranteed.

The biggest variable is usually how fast you and your spouse return signed documents. The statutory waiting period under Fla. Stat. §61.19 sets the floor, but a court may enter judgment sooner for good cause in limited circumstances.

What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Hernando County?

The final hearing for an uncontested divorce is brief and straightforward, often lasting only a few minutes. The judge confirms that the residency requirement is met, that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, and that both spouses understand and agree to the terms in the settlement. If children are involved, the judge reviews the parenting plan and confirms support figures align with the guidelines in Fla. Stat. §61.30. If property is divided, the court confirms the division is consistent with the equitable distribution framework in Fla. Stat. §61.075. Florida is an equitable-distribution state, which means assets are divided fairly rather than automatically split in half.

Can the final hearing be waived in Hernando County?

In some uncontested cases, particularly simplified dissolutions, the court may finalize the divorce based on the documents and a short appearance, and in certain circumstances the hearing can be very limited. Whether an appearance is required depends on the type of petition and the judge assigned. We prepare your case so that, if an appearance is needed, you know exactly what to expect beforehand.
