# Uncontested Divorce in Martin County, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Martin County couples, prepared and reviewed by a licensed Florida attorney before anything is filed, and managed 100% remotely. You and your spouse never visit an office. The court filing fee is a separate $400 paid to the clerk. Florida only requires that your marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052.
Does Your Martin County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your divorce qualifies as uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue and both are willing to sign the paperwork. An uncontested case is not about how much you own or whether you have children; it is about agreement. If you have reached terms on property, debts, and any parenting issues, your case is uncontested even if your finances are complex.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No children and no shared property | Yes, this is the simplest path |
| Children or property, but you both fully agree on the terms | Yes, as long as the agreement is complete |
| Your spouse is non-responsive or refuses to participate | No, this becomes a contested or default matter |
| You actively disagree on support, time-sharing, or assets | No, this is contested and needs a different approach |
In my experience, most couples who think their case is too complicated for an uncontested divorce are simply unsure how to put their agreement into proper legal language. That is the part the firm handles for you. If a true disagreement surfaces during preparation, I tell clients honestly and we discuss next steps rather than forcing a filing that will not hold up.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Martin County?
An uncontested divorce in Martin County involves a flat $750 attorney fee plus the court's $400 filing fee and a few small statutory costs. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges from this firm.
| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Court filing fee (paid to the clerk) | $400 |
| Service of process (only if spouse must be formally served) | Varies, often waived when spouses cooperate |
| Parenting course (only if there are minor children) | Roughly $20 to $40 online |
| Flat-fee attorney (document preparation, review, filing, guidance) | $750 |
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 at no extra cost. Start your flat-fee uncontested divorce with FloridaDivorce.law, handled remotely with no office visits required.
What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Martin County?
At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before you file. This rule comes from Fla. Stat. §61.021, and the court will require proof of residency before granting a divorce. You do not both need to meet the requirement; one qualifying spouse is enough. A Florida driver's license, voter registration, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness can establish residency.
You file in Martin County when you or your spouse live here, which places your case in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida. Residency is about Florida, not specifically about the length of time you have lived in Martin County.
What if I just moved to Martin County?
A recent move within Florida does not restart the clock. The six-month requirement under Fla. Stat. §61.021 measures your time as a Florida resident, not your time in this particular county. If you lived in another Florida county for years and recently relocated to Stuart or elsewhere in Martin County, you still meet the residency test. If neither spouse has lived in Florida for six full months yet, you must wait until that threshold is met before filing.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Martin County? (Step-by-Step)
You file an uncontested divorce in Martin County by preparing the petition and settlement documents, e-filing them with the clerk, and completing a short waiting period before final judgment. Here is the sequence.
If you ever have a question about the portal or the clerk, the Martin Clerk of the Circuit Court can be reached at (772) 288-5576. When the firm handles your case, we manage the e-filing for you.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Martin County?
A Martin County uncontested divorce uses the standardized Florida Supreme Court family law forms, and the exact set depends on whether you have children and property. The core documents are below.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| 12.901(a) | Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage | No minor children, no support, both spouses sign |
| 12.901(b)(1)/(b)(2) | Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (with or without children/property) | Most regular uncontested cases |
| 12.902(b)/(c) | Family Law Financial Affidavit | Mandatory financial disclosure under Rule 12.285 |
| 12.902(f)(3) | Marital Settlement Agreement | When you divide property under Fla. Stat. §61.075 or address support |
| 12.913 | Service / Answer and Waiver | To document service or a spouse's waiver |
| 12.990 series | Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage | Signed by the judge to finalize your divorce |
You can review the official forms on flcourts.gov. Getting the right combination is where many do-it-yourself filings stall.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Martin County?
Most uncontested divorces in Martin County finish within a few weeks to a couple of months once both spouses cooperate. The 20-day waiting period under Fla. Stat. §61.19 sets the legal floor; the rest depends on document turnaround and the court's calendar.
| Stage | Realistic timing |
|---|---|
| Document preparation and review | A few days once your information is in |
| Filing with the clerk | Same day via myflcourtaccess.com |
| 20-day statutory waiting period | At least 20 days from filing |
| Final hearing or review | Scheduled by the court when available |
| Total realistic range | Roughly 3 to 8 weeks |
Court timing varies by county and by docket, so the final hearing date is the one variable neither you nor the firm fully controls.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Martin County?
The final hearing is brief, and in an uncontested case it is usually a short confirmation rather than a contest. A judge confirms that residency is met, that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, and that your settlement is complete and voluntary. If everything is in order, the judge signs your final judgment of dissolution and your divorce is granted.
Can the final hearing be waived in Martin County?
In a simplified dissolution under Form 12.901(a), both spouses generally still appear briefly, while many regular uncontested cases can be finalized with little or no in-person time depending on the judge's practice. Because procedures differ between judges in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, the firm confirms the local expectation for your case and prepares you for exactly what, if anything, is required. When an appearance can be handled remotely or waived, we pursue that.

Significant assets, but you agree?

How agreed asset division worksThis isn't the right service if…
- your spouse won't sign, or you're still negotiating
- there is domestic violence, coercion, or fear

- you want one attorney to represent both spouses
