# Uncontested Divorce in Volusia County, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Volusia County residents, 100% remote, with documents attorney-prepared and reviewed before filing. The court charges a separate $400 filing fee. You qualify when both spouses agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052 and can settle property and any parenting issues. No office visit is ever required.
Does Your Volusia County Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, including property, debts, and any time-sharing of children. The label is about agreement, not about whether you own a home or have kids. Plenty of Volusia County couples with a house and children still qualify because they have worked out the terms between themselves.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No children and no shared property | Yes, this is the simplest path |
| Children or property, but full agreement on all terms | Yes, with a parenting plan and settlement agreement |
| Spouse is non-responsive or cannot be located | Sometimes, through service by publication or a default |
| Active disagreement on money, the home, or the kids | No, this is a contested matter |
In my experience, most people who call assuming their divorce is too complicated to be uncontested are wrong. The deciding factor is whether the two of you can sign the same agreement, not the size of your bank account or whether you share a child.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Volusia County?
The two real costs are the firm's flat fee and the court's filing fee, plus a few smaller items depending on your situation. There is no surprise billing and no hourly clock running on your case.
| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Court filing fee (paid to the Volusia Clerk) | $400 |
| Service of process (if spouse must be formally served) | Varies; waived if spouse signs a waiver |
| Parenting course (only if minor children) | Roughly $20 to $40 per parent |
| 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. It is the same price whether or not you have minor children. When children are involved, the package simply adds the parenting plan, the child support guidelines worksheet under Fla. Stat. §61.30, and the required UCCJEA affidavit.
What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Volusia County?
At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before you file. This rule comes from Fla. Stat. §61.021, and it applies to every divorce in the state, including those handled through the Volusia Clerk of the Circuit Court. 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 have to have lived in Volusia County itself for any set period. The six-month requirement is statewide. You file in Volusia County because you or your spouse currently reside here, which makes the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Florida the proper venue for your case.
What if I just moved to Volusia County?
What matters is your time in Florida, not your time in Volusia County. If you have lived somewhere in Florida for at least six months, you meet the test under Fla. Stat. §61.021 even if you only recently arrived in Daytona Beach, Deltona, or DeLand. If neither spouse has hit the six-month mark anywhere in Florida, you must wait until one of you does before filing.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Volusia County? (Step-by-Step)
Filing an uncontested divorce in Volusia County follows a clear sequence from preparing documents to receiving your final judgment. Here is the path your case takes.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Volusia County?
Most uncontested cases rely on a predictable set of Florida Supreme Court approved family law forms. The exact combination depends on whether you have children and shared property.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| 12.901(a) | Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage | No minor children, no alimony, both spouses sign |
| 12.901(b)(1) | Petition for Dissolution with Dependent or Minor Children | When you share minor children |
| 12.901(b)(2) | Petition for Dissolution with Property but No Children | Shared property or debts, no minor children |
| 12.902 series | Family Law Financial Affidavit / disclosure or waiver | Financial disclosure under Rule 12.285 |
| 12.913 | Documents related to service of process | When the spouse must be served |
| 12.990 series | Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage | Entered by the judge to finalize the divorce |
Property and debts are divided under the equitable distribution standard in Fla. Stat. §61.075, which Florida applies instead of community property. You can review the official forms at flcourts.gov.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Volusia County?
Most uncontested divorces in Volusia County finish within a few weeks once both spouses cooperate. The statutory 20-day waiting period is the main fixed delay, and court scheduling can add time.
| Stage | Typical timing |
|---|---|
| Document preparation and review | A few days, once we have your information |
| Filing with the Volusia Clerk | Same day via myflcourtaccess.com |
| 20-day waiting period (Fla. Stat. §61.19) | 20 days minimum after filing |
| Final hearing or judicial review | Scheduled after the waiting period |
| Total realistic range | About 4 to 8 weeks |
Court timing varies by county and by the judge's calendar, so treat these ranges as realistic estimates rather than guarantees.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Volusia County?
The final hearing is a brief, routine appearance where the judge confirms your testimony and signs the final judgment. In an uncontested case it usually takes only a few minutes. The judge verifies that the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, that the residency requirement is met, and that both spouses understand and agree to the settlement.
Can the final hearing be waived in Volusia County?
In many simplified dissolution cases both spouses still attend a short final hearing, while some regular uncontested cases can be resolved on the documents without testimony. Whether a hearing is required depends on the type of petition and the judge's practice in the Seventh Judicial Circuit. We tell you exactly what to expect for your specific case so there are no surprises.

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
