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

FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Orange County, prepared and reviewed by a licensed attorney before anything is filed, and done 100% remotely with no office visit. You pay the firm's flat fee plus the $408 court filing fee. Under Fla. Stat. §61.052, your marriage only needs to be irretrievably broken, and both spouses must agree on the terms.

Does Your Orange County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?

Your Orange County divorce qualifies as uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue and both are willing to sign the paperwork. That means you have reached agreement on property, debts, and, if you have children, time-sharing and child support. Disagreement on even one of those points moves you out of uncontested territory and into a contested case.

Here is a quick way to gauge where you stand.

Your situationLikely uncontested?
No minor children and no shared property or debtYes, the simplest path
Children or property, but full written agreement on everythingYes, with a complete settlement
Spouse is non-responsive or refuses to participateNo, this usually becomes contested
Active disagreement on money, property, or the childrenNo, this is a contested matter

In my experience, most couples who think their case is complicated actually qualify as uncontested once they realize they already agree on the substance and just need the paperwork done correctly. The disagreements that worry people are often about wording, not about the underlying split.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Orange County?

An uncontested divorce in Orange County has two predictable cost layers: the court's filing fee and the firm's flat fee. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges with FloridaDivorce.law.

Cost itemAmount
Orange County court filing fee$408
Service of process (if your spouse must be formally served)Varies; often waived when both spouses cooperate
Parenting course (only if you have minor children)Roughly $20 to $40 per parent, online
Flat-fee attorney preparation and review$750, the same with or without minor children

The $408 is paid to the Orange Clerk of the Circuit Court, not to the firm. When both spouses sign, formal service is frequently unnecessary, which removes a common cost. The flat fee covers document preparation, attorney review, filing, and guidance through to your final judgment.

What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Orange 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 dismiss a petition filed too early. You typically prove residency with a Florida driver's license, a Florida voter registration card, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness.

You do not both need to be Florida residents. As long as one of you meets the six-month mark, you can file in Orange County, which sits within the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida.

What if I just moved to Orange County?

If you recently moved to Orange County but have lived elsewhere in Florida for at least six months, you still qualify, because the residency clock runs statewide and not by county. If neither spouse has reached six months of Florida residency, you must wait until one of you does before filing. We can prepare everything in advance so you are ready to file the day you become eligible.

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

Filing an uncontested divorce in Orange County follows a clear sequence through the e-filing system. Here is the path from start to finish.

Confirm eligibility: verify six-month Florida residency under Fla. Stat. §61.021 and that both spouses agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052.
Prepare your petition: complete Form 12.901(a) for simplified dissolution, or Form 12.901(b)(1) or (b)(2) for a regular dissolution depending on whether you have children.
Complete financial disclosure: exchange the required financial affidavits, or file a written waiver where the rules permit.
Sign before a notary: both spouses sign the marital settlement agreement and supporting forms.
E-file with the court: submit your documents through myflcourtaccess.com to the Orange Clerk of the Circuit Court and pay the $408 filing fee.
Observe the waiting period: Fla. Stat. §61.19 requires at least 20 days between filing the petition and the entry of final judgment, though the court may move sooner for good cause.
Obtain final judgment: attend a brief final hearing or, where allowed, submit your final paperwork for the judge to sign.

When FloridaDivorce.law handles your case, we prepare and file these documents for you, so you are not navigating the clerk's portal alone.

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

The forms you need depend on whether you have minor children and whether you qualify for a simplified dissolution. The core set comes from the Florida Supreme Court approved family law forms.

Form numberForm nameWhen required
12.901(a)Petition for Simplified Dissolution of MarriageBoth spouses agree, no minor children, no alimony
12.901(b)(1) / 12.901(b)(2)Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (with or without dependent children)Regular uncontested dissolution
12.902 seriesFamily Law Financial Affidavit and disclosure documentsMandatory financial disclosure; a waiver applies in simplified cases
12.913Documents related to service of processWhen a spouse must be formally served
12.990 seriesFinal Judgment of Dissolution of MarriageEntered by the judge to finalize your divorce

Mandatory financial disclosure is governed by Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.285, so the financial paperwork is not optional in standard cases. You can review the official versions at flcourts.gov.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Orange County?

Most uncontested divorces in Orange County finish within a few weeks to a couple of months, driven mainly by the 20-day waiting period and the court's calendar. Court timing varies by county, so the final-hearing window is the least predictable stage.

StageRealistic timing
Document preparation and signingA few days to one week
Filing with the Orange ClerkSame day once documents are signed
20-day waiting period (Fla. Stat. §61.19)At least 20 days after filing
Final hearing or judicial reviewDays to several weeks, depending on the court calendar
Total realistic rangeRoughly 3 to 8 weeks for a cooperative, complete case

The biggest variable is how quickly both spouses sign and how full the court's docket is. A complete, error-free package is the single best way to keep your case at the faster end of that range.

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

The final hearing is short, often only a few minutes, and confirms that your paperwork is complete and that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The judge reviews your settlement agreement, asks a few brief questions to confirm both spouses understand and agree, and then signs the final judgment under Fla. Stat. §61.052. Once that judgment is signed, your divorce is final.

Can the final hearing be waived in Orange County?

In many uncontested cases, especially simplified dissolutions and cases with a complete settlement, the court can finalize the divorce on the documents with a minimal or remote appearance. Whether a hearing is required, in person, or by video depends on the assigned judge and the specifics of your case. We prepare your file so it is ready for whichever route the court directs, and we tell you exactly what to expect.

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 works

This 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
