# Uncontested Divorce in Pasco County, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Pasco County residents, 100% remotely, with every document attorney-prepared and reviewed before it is filed. You pay a separate $400 court filing fee to the clerk. Your divorce qualifies as uncontested when both spouses agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052 and agree on the terms. No office visit is required.
Does Your Pasco County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your Pasco County divorce qualifies as uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue and both are willing to sign. An uncontested case is defined by agreement, not by how complicated your assets are. You can own a home, share retirement accounts, and have children, and still be fully uncontested, as long as you have settled how everything is divided.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No children and no shared property | Yes, the simplest path |
| Children or property, but you agree on all terms | Yes, with a parenting plan or settlement |
| Spouse is non-responsive or cannot be located | Sometimes, with proper service or a default |
| Active disagreement on money, time-sharing, or property | No, this is a contested matter |
In my experience, most people who think their case is too complicated for an uncontested divorce are wrong. The deciding factor is whether you and your spouse agree, not the size of the marital estate. If you have reached an agreement on the major terms, we can usually document it cleanly and file it without a fight.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Pasco County?
An uncontested divorce in Pasco County costs $750 for the flat attorney fee, plus a $400 court filing fee and a few smaller costs. The flat fee covers document preparation, attorney review, filing with the clerk, and guidance through to your final judgment, with no surprise billing.
| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Court filing fee (paid to the clerk) | $400 |
| Service of process (if spouse must be formally served) | Varies, often skipped when spouse signs a waiver |
| Parenting course (only if you have minor children) | Typically $20 to $50 per parent |
| Flat-fee attorney (FloridaDivorce.law) | $750 |
The $750 stays 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 under Fla. Stat. §61.30, and a UCCJEA affidavit at no extra charge.
What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Pasco County?
At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before you file. This requirement comes from Fla. Stat. §61.021, and it applies to every dissolution case in the state, including Pasco County. You do not both need to be Florida residents, and you do not need to have lived in Pasco County for any set period, only somewhere in Florida.
You will prove residency with a Florida driver's license, a Florida ID card, a voter registration card, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness. We help you select the right proof so the court does not bounce your petition.
What if I just moved to Pasco County?
If you recently moved to Pasco County but have lived elsewhere in Florida for the past six months, you still meet the residency requirement under Fla. Stat. §61.021. The six months counts statewide. If neither spouse has lived in Florida for a full six months yet, you must wait until that threshold is met before filing. We can prepare your documents in advance so you are ready to file the day you qualify.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Pasco County? (Step-by-Step)
You file an uncontested divorce in Pasco County by preparing the petition, filing electronically through the state portal, and obtaining a final judgment after a short waiting period. Here is the path we walk every client through.
The case is filed in the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida, which serves Pasco County. The Pasco Clerk of the Circuit Court manages the filing, and you can reach the clerk at (352) 521-4274 with administrative questions.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Pasco County?
You need the petition, a financial affidavit or waiver, proof of service, and the final judgment form. The exact set depends on whether your case is a simplified or regular dissolution and whether you have children.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| Form 12.901(a) | Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage | No minor children, no alimony, both spouses sign |
| Form 12.901(b)(1) / 12.901(b)(2) | Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (with or without children/property) | Regular dissolution cases |
| Form 12.902 series | Financial Affidavit and related disclosure or waiver | Financial disclosure under Rule 12.285 |
| Form 12.913 | Documents related to service of process | When the spouse must be served |
| Form 12.990 series | Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage | Entered by the judge to finalize your divorce |
All current Florida family law forms are published at flcourts.gov. Using the wrong form, or filling one out incorrectly, is one of the most common reasons a Pasco County divorce stalls.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Pasco County?
Most uncontested divorces in Pasco County finish in a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the court's schedule. The biggest fixed delay is the statutory waiting period, not the paperwork.
| Stage | Realistic timing |
|---|---|
| Document preparation | A few days once we have your information |
| Filing with the clerk | Same day through the e-filing portal |
| 20-day waiting period (Fla. Stat. §61.19) | At least 20 days after filing |
| Final hearing or judicial review | Scheduled by the court, often within a few weeks |
| Total realistic range | Roughly 3 to 8 weeks |
Court timing varies by county and by how busy the judge's calendar is. We move the parts we control quickly, so the only real wait is the statutory clock and the court's availability.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Pasco County?
The final hearing for an uncontested divorce is usually short and straightforward. The judge confirms that the residency requirement is met, that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, and that your settlement terms are fair and entered voluntarily. If everything is in order, the judge signs the final judgment and your divorce is granted.
When children or property are involved, the judge reviews the parenting plan, the child support worksheet under Fla. Stat. §61.30, and the division of assets and debts under Fla. Stat. §61.075 to confirm the agreement is complete. Florida follows equitable distribution, so the court looks for a fair division rather than an automatic fifty-fifty split.
Can the final hearing be waived in Pasco County?
In many uncontested cases, the final hearing is brief, and in some situations the court allows the matter to be resolved on the documents alone without both spouses appearing. Whether a hearing is required, and whether it can be handled remotely, depends on the judge and the type of dissolution. We tell you exactly what to expect for your specific case so there are no surprises on the day your divorce is finalized.

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
