# Uncontested Divorce in Miami-Dade County, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Miami-Dade County residents, entirely remotely, with every document attorney-prepared and reviewed before it reaches the clerk. You pay a separate $408 court filing fee. If you and your spouse agree the marriage is over, Florida only requires that it be irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, so no fault or blame is needed.
Does Your Miami-Dade County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, and if you live in Hialeah or Kendall, that agreement is exactly what keeps your case simple and affordable. Uncontested does not mean you own nothing or have no children. It means you have already reached agreement on property, debts, and any parenting arrangements, so no judge has to decide those disputes for you.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No children and no shared property or debt | Yes, this is the most straightforward case |
| Children or property, but full written agreement | Yes, as long as every term is settled |
| Spouse is non-responsive or cannot be located | Sometimes, but it needs careful handling |
| Active disagreement on money, time-sharing, or assets | No, this is a contested matter |
In my experience, many Hialeah couples in bilingual households assume they need a courtroom battle when they have actually agreed on nearly everything, and they only need help putting that agreement into the correct forms. That is precisely the kind of case a flat fee is built for.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Miami-Dade County?
An uncontested divorce in Miami-Dade County has two main costs: the court filing fee and the attorney fee, plus a couple of small extras. Predictable, no surprise billing is the whole point of a flat fee.
| Cost item | Typical amount |
|---|---|
| Court filing fee (petitioner) | $408 |
| Service of process on your spouse | Around $40 to $75, if needed |
| Parenting course (only if minor children) | Around $20 to $40 online |
| Flat-fee attorney (FloridaDivorce.law) | $750, the same with or without children |
A Kendall couple with a paid-off condo and no children pays the same flat $750 as a Doral family with two kids and a parenting plan, because the fee does not change with your circumstances. 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 Miami-Dade County?
At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before you file, under Fla. Stat. §61.021. This is a firm requirement, and the court will not grant a dissolution without it. The six months does not have to be spent in Miami-Dade County specifically; living anywhere in Florida for that period satisfies the statute, and you then file in the county where you live.
What if I just moved to Miami-Dade County?
If you recently relocated to Homestead or Doral from another state, you must wait until you have completed six months of Florida residency before filing. You can prove residency with a Florida driver's license, a voter registration card, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness. If one spouse has met the six-month mark while the other just arrived, that qualifying spouse can still file.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Miami-Dade County? (Step-by-Step)
You file by preparing the correct forms, submitting them electronically, serving your spouse, and completing a short waiting period before final judgment. Here is the sequence, whether you live in Hialeah, Kendall, Homestead, or Doral.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Miami-Dade County?
The forms you need depend on whether you have minor children and whether you qualify for the simplified track. The core set comes from the Florida Supreme Court approved family law forms available at flcourts.gov.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| 12.901(a) | Petition for Simplified Dissolution | No minor children, both spouses sign |
| 12.901(b)(1) / (b)(2) | Petition for Dissolution (no children / with children) | Regular dissolution track |
| 12.902(b) / 12.902(c) | Family Law Financial Affidavit | Financial disclosure under Rule 12.285 |
| 12.902(f) | Marital Settlement Agreement / waiver | To document your full agreement |
| 12.913 | Certificate and related service documents | When formal service is needed |
| 12.990 series | Final Judgment of Dissolution | Entered by the court to finalize |

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Miami-Dade County?
Most uncontested divorces in Miami-Dade County finish in roughly four to eight weeks from filing, though court timing varies by county and by the volume the Eleventh Judicial Circuit is handling.
| Stage | Realistic timing |
|---|---|
| Document preparation | 2 to 5 business days |
| Filing and clerk processing | 1 to 3 business days |
| 20-day statutory waiting period | 20 days minimum |
| Final hearing or judicial review | 1 to 4 weeks after waiting period |
| Total realistic range | 4 to 8 weeks, sometimes longer |
The Miami-Dade Clerk operates a dedicated Simplified Divorce Unit within a large family law division, which helps keep cleanly prepared uncontested cases moving. Court timing still varies, so treat these figures as realistic estimates rather than guarantees.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Miami-Dade County?
At the final hearing, a judge confirms that the marriage is irretrievably broken, verifies your paperwork is complete, and signs the final judgment. The hearing is usually brief, often five to ten minutes, and the judge simply confirms the terms you and your spouse already agreed to. If children are involved, the court reviews the parenting plan and support figures for consistency with Fla. Stat. §61.30, and any property terms are reviewed against Fla. Stat. §61.075.
Can the final hearing be waived in Miami-Dade County?
In many simplified dissolution cases, the court still expects at least one spouse to briefly confirm the marriage is irretrievably broken, and some judges permit this remotely or on the papers. Whether a personal appearance is required depends on the assigned judge and the track you filed under. When we handle your case, we tell you exactly what your specific judge expects so a Hialeah or Doral client is never caught off guard.

Significant assets, but you agree?
Large dollar amounts don't make a case contested — disagreement does. Your marital settlement agreement can cover the home, mortgage payoff or refinance deadlines, deed/title transfer, bank and investment accounts, retirement (QDRO referral if needed), vehicles, debts, and agreed obligations.
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 need discovery, an injunction, or emergency relief
- you disagree about parenting, support, alimony, property, or debt
- you want one attorney to represent both spouses
