# Uncontested Divorce in Nassau County, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Nassau County residents, 100% remote, with every document attorney-prepared and reviewed before it reaches the clerk. You pay the $400 court filing fee separately. Your divorce qualifies as uncontested when you and your spouse agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052 and agree on every issue. No office visit is ever required.
Does Your Nassau County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on everything: ending the marriage, dividing property and debt, and any time-sharing or support for minor children. The label has nothing to do with how much you own and everything to do with whether you agree. Disagreement on even one issue makes the case contested, which changes the path and the cost.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No minor children, no shared property or debt | Yes |
| You have children or property, but you fully agree on every term | Yes |
| Your spouse is non-responsive or refuses to participate | No, this usually becomes a contested or default case |
| You actively disagree on assets, support, or time-sharing | No, this is a contested divorce |
In my experience, most couples who think their case is too complicated for an uncontested divorce simply have a few details left to settle. A married couple in Yulee with a house and two children can absolutely file uncontested, as long as they reach a written agreement on the parenting plan and how the equity is divided. The agreement is what matters, not the size of the estate.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Nassau County?
An uncontested divorce in Nassau County has two main costs: the firm's flat fee and the separate court filing fee paid to the clerk. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges with our flat-fee service.
| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Court filing fee (paid to the Nassau Clerk) | $400 |
| Service of process (only if your spouse must be formally served) | Varies; often waived when spouses cooperate |
| Parenting course (required if you have minor children) | Roughly $20 to $30 online |
| Flat-fee attorney (FloridaDivorce.law) | $750 |
The $750 flat fee covers document preparation, attorney review, filing with the clerk, and guidance through to your final judgment. The price is the same whether or not you have minor children. When children are involved, 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 Nassau County?
At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for a minimum of six months immediately before filing, under Fla. Stat. §61.021. This is a firm jurisdictional requirement, and the court cannot grant your divorce without it. You prove residency through a Florida driver's license, a Florida voter registration card, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness. Only one spouse needs to meet the six-month mark, not both.
You file in Nassau County because that is where you live, and the case proceeds through the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida. The county where you reside, not where you married, controls where the petition is filed.
What if I just moved to Nassau County?
Moving to Fernandina Beach or Yulee last month does not reset your eligibility if you have lived elsewhere in Florida for at least six months. Florida residency, not Nassau County residency, is what Fla. Stat. §61.021 requires. If you recently relocated from another state and neither spouse has six months in Florida yet, you must wait until that six-month threshold is met before filing.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Nassau County? (Step-by-Step)
Filing an uncontested divorce in Nassau County follows a defined sequence through the clerk and the Florida e-filing portal. Here is the path we walk every client through.
If you have questions about the Nassau Clerk of the Circuit Court, you can reach the office at (904) 548-4600.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Nassau County?
Florida uses standardized family law forms statewide, so Nassau County uses the same numbered forms as every other county. The exact set depends on whether you have children and property.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| 12.901(a) | Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage | No children, no property division, both spouses appear |
| 12.901(b)(1) / (b)(2) | Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (with / without dependent children or property) | Standard uncontested cases |
| 12.902 series | Family Law Financial Affidavit and disclosure / waiver | Financial disclosure under Rule 12.285 |
| 12.913 | Documents related to service of process | When a spouse must be served or waives service |
| 12.990 series | Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage | Entered by the court to finalize the divorce |
You can review the official versions of these forms at flcourts.gov. Choosing the wrong form or leaving a required disclosure incomplete is the most common reason an otherwise simple case stalls at the clerk's office.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Nassau County?
Most uncontested divorces in Nassau County finish within four to eight weeks, driven largely by the statutory waiting period and the court's review schedule. Court timing varies by county and by the judge's calendar.
| Stage | Typical timing |
|---|---|
| Document preparation and review | A few days to one week |
| Filing with the clerk | Same day once documents are ready |
| 20-day waiting period (Fla. Stat. §61.19) | At least 20 days after filing |
| Final hearing or judicial review | Varies by the court's calendar |
| Total realistic range | Roughly 4 to 8 weeks |
The single fixed delay is the 20-day waiting period under Fla. Stat. §61.19. Everything else moves at the speed of how quickly the documents are prepared correctly and how full the court's docket is.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Nassau County?
At a final hearing, the judge confirms that the residency requirement is met, that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and that your settlement agreement is complete and fair. Final hearings in uncontested cases are brief and routine. The judge reviews your marital settlement agreement, confirms that division of any property follows Fla. Stat. §61.075 and that any child support follows the guidelines in Fla. Stat. §61.30, and then signs the final judgment. There are rarely surprises when the paperwork is prepared correctly.
Can the final hearing be waived in Nassau County?
Many uncontested cases in Florida are decided on the documents alone without anyone appearing in person. Whether a short hearing is required depends on the judge and the specifics of your case, particularly when minor children are involved. We prepare every file so it is ready to be granted on the paperwork wherever the court allows it, which keeps the process remote from start to finish.

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
