You and your spouse must agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052. The Union County court filing fee is $395, separate from our fee. No office visit is required.

Does Your Union County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?

Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, including property, debts, and any children. That single fact is what keeps the case affordable and fast. Disagreement on even one term turns the case contested, which means a different process and a different cost structure.

In my experience, most Union County couples who tell me they "agree on everything" really do, but they have never written it down. The job is putting that agreement into the language a Florida judge expects, so nothing stalls at the clerk's desk or at the hearing.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Union County?

An uncontested divorce in Union County has two predictable parts: the court's filing fee and your attorney fee, plus a couple of small case-specific costs. There is no hourly billing and no surprise invoice.

The $750 covers document preparation, attorney review, e-filing, and guidance through to your final judgment. It is the same flat fee whether or not you have minor children. Cases with children simply add 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 Union County?

At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before the petition is filed, under Fla. Stat. §61.021. This is a hard requirement, and the court will dismiss a case that does not meet it. You prove residency with a Florida driver's license, a Florida voter registration, or the testimony of a corroborating witness.

You do not need to have lived in Union County for any set period. You file in Union County because you or your spouse currently reside here. The six-month clock is about Florida, not about the county.

What if I just moved to Union County?

A recent move into Union County is fine as long as one spouse has been a Florida resident for the full six months. If you moved to Florida from another state less than six months ago, you must wait until that six-month mark before filing. Once either spouse crosses six months of Florida residency, we can file in Union County right away.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Union County?

Most uncontested divorces in Union County finalize in a few weeks, driven mainly by the statutory waiting period and the court's calendar. The timeline below is a realistic estimate; court timing varies by county and by judge.

The waiting period under Fla. Stat. §61.19 is the floor; a judge cannot sign your final judgment before the 20 days run, though the court may move faster for good cause.

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

The final hearing in an uncontested case is short and straightforward, often lasting only a few minutes. The judge confirms that residency is met, that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, and that any settlement on property under Fla. Stat. §61.075 and any child support under Fla. Stat. §61.30 is fair and complete. If everything is in order, the judge signs the final judgment and your divorce is granted.

Can the final hearing be waived in Union County?

In many uncontested cases, especially simplified dissolutions or matters with a complete signed agreement, the court can grant the divorce on the documents with minimal or no in-person appearance. Whether a brief hearing is required depends on the assigned judge in the Eighth Judicial Circuit. Because we handle everything remotely, you are never the one driving to the courthouse to find out.
