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

FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Madison County residents, fully remote, with your documents attorney-prepared and reviewed before anything reaches the court. You pay the $395 court filing fee separately to the Madison Clerk of the Circuit Court. Florida lets you divorce once your marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052. No office visit is ever required.

Does Your Madison County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?

Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, including property, debt, and any children. The label is not about whether your marriage was simple; it is about whether the two of you are aligned on how to end it. If you can both sign the paperwork without fighting over the terms, you almost certainly qualify for the flat-fee path.

In my experience, most people who call themselves "contested" are actually uncontested. They have one unresolved question, we talk it through, and it turns out they agree on everything that matters. The fights people imagine rarely materialize once the agreement is written down in plain terms.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Madison County?

The largest predictable cost is the attorney fee, and ours is a flat $750 with no surprise billing. The court charges its own filing fee on top of that, and a few small items may apply depending on your situation. Here is the full picture.

That flat $750 covers document preparation, attorney review, filing, and guidance through to your final judgment. It stays $750 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 at no extra charge.

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

At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before you file. This is set by Fla. Stat. §61.021, and the court will not grant a divorce without it. You do not both need to meet the requirement; one qualifying spouse is enough. You also do not have to have lived in Madison County for any set period — Florida residency is what counts, and Madison County is simply where you file if you live there.

What if I just moved to Madison County?

You can file in Madison County as soon as you live here, but the six-month Florida residency clock under Fla. Stat. §61.021 still has to be satisfied by at least one spouse. If you recently moved to Florida from another state, you generally wait until one of you has been a Florida resident for six full months. If you moved within Florida, your prior in-state time still counts toward that six months.

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

You file by preparing the correct dissolution forms, submitting them electronically through Florida's statewide portal, and completing a short waiting period before final judgment. Here is the full sequence.

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

The form set depends on whether you have children and whether you qualify for simplified dissolution. The core documents come from the Florida Supreme Court's approved family law forms, available at flcourts.gov.

Financial disclosure is not optional; Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.285 requires it in nearly every dissolution, and missing or incomplete affidavits are the most common reason filings stall.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Madison County?

Most uncontested cases finish within a few weeks once the paperwork is complete, with the statutory waiting period setting the floor. Court timing varies by county and by the judge's calendar.

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

At a final hearing, a judge confirms your residency, verifies that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, and signs your final judgment. The hearing is usually brief and routine for uncontested cases. The judge reviews your settlement to confirm it is complete and, where children are involved, that your parenting plan and child support figures comply with Fla. Stat. §61.30. When property is divided, the judge confirms the division is consistent with the equitable-distribution standard in Fla. Stat. §61.075.

Can the final hearing be waived in Madison County?

In many uncontested cases, especially simplified dissolutions, the court can enter the final judgment with a very short appearance or, in some circumstances, on the documents alone. Whether a hearing is required depends on the judge and the specifics of your case. Because Madison is a small rural county in the Third Judicial Circuit, practices can differ from larger metro courts, which is one more reason to have your filing prepared correctly the first time.
