Divorce Attorney Serving Naples & Collier County
Naples consistently ranks among America's wealthiest cities. High-asset divorces here require meticulous attention to country club memberships, art collections, and seasonal properties.
Naples sits along the Gulf coast of Collier County, a Southwest Florida community shaped by tourism, real estate, healthcare, and finance. Those industries draw a particular kind of resident: seasonal homeowners, real estate professionals, medical specialists, and finance executives who often hold assets far more complicated than a house and two cars. When a marriage ends here, the divorce tends to carry the fingerprints of that wealth and that lifestyle, which means the paperwork and the property picture look different than they might in a more typical Florida town.
The local challenges are real. Ultra-high-net-worth divorces are common in Naples, and they bring questions about how to divide assets that were built over decades. Luxury beachfront estate division raises its own issues, since a waterfront home is rarely just a residence, it is often the single largest marital asset and one both spouses have strong feelings about. Trust fund and offshore account discovery adds another layer, because when family money or overseas accounts are part of the marriage, everything has to be identified and accounted for before any agreement can be finalized. These are not reasons to fear the process, but they are reasons to be organized and honest about what you own.
Here is the important distinction. My firm handles uncontested divorces only, for a $750 flat fee. Uncontested means you and your spouse already agree on how everything gets divided, including the beachfront home, the accounts, and any trust interests, and you are both willing to sign. When agreement is already in place, the complexity of Naples wealth becomes a documentation task rather than a courtroom fight. An AI-efficient process lets us organize your disclosure, prepare your parenting plan if you have minor children, and draft your paperwork accurately without the billable-hour meter that traditional retainers run. You pay one flat fee, not five to seven thousand dollars, and the court filing fee and any notary sessions are separate.
If you and your spouse have reached an agreement and you are both ready to sign, it is worth seeing whether your situation fits an uncontested filing. Answer a few questions with Victoria and find out where you stand before you commit to anything.
Unique Divorce Challenges in Naples
Ultra-high-net-worth divorces in Naples often involve assets accumulated across decades, and while an uncontested filing does not resolve disputes for you, it does require that both spouses have already agreed on how those assets are split before the paperwork is drafted.
Luxury beachfront estate division is a recurring theme here, because a Gulf-front home is frequently the largest marital asset, and an uncontested divorce works only when both spouses have settled who keeps the property or how its value is shared.
Trust fund interests are common among Naples families, and every trust interest tied to the marriage needs to be identified and disclosed honestly so the final agreement reflects the full financial picture.
Offshore account discovery matters when a couple holds money outside the United States, since a complete and truthful financial disclosure is required before an uncontested divorce can be finalized in Florida.
Because so much Naples wealth is connected to real estate and finance, the practical work of an uncontested divorce here is often about careful documentation of what each spouse owns rather than argument over who gets what.
Seasonal residents and second-home owners in Naples should be sure Florida residency requirements are met before filing, since the community draws many people who split their time between states.

# Uncontested Divorce in Naples, Florida (2026 Guide)
FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Naples residents, fully remote and prepared and reviewed by a licensed Florida attorney before anything is filed. You and your spouse must agree the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052. The Collier County court filing fee is $408, paid separately. Most clients never set foot in a courthouse.
Does Your Naples Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?
Your Naples divorce qualifies as uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue: ending the marriage, dividing property and debt, and any time-sharing or support if you have children. Disagreement on even one issue makes the case contested, which changes the path entirely. The table below shows where most situations land.
| Your situation | Likely uncontested? |
|---|---|
| No minor children and no shared property | Yes — the simplest path |
| Children or property, but you agree on everything | Yes — uncontested with a full marital settlement agreement |
| Your spouse is non-responsive or cannot be located | No — this requires service by publication and a different track |
| You actively disagree on assets, support, or time-sharing | No — this is a contested matter |
In my experience, the single biggest factor is not whether you own a beachfront condo or a modest rental — it is whether both spouses have genuinely decided to move forward together. Naples couples with substantial assets can absolutely qualify as uncontested, as long as they have already agreed on how to divide what they own. The agreement is what makes it uncontested, not the size of the estate.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Naples?
The total out-of-pocket cost for an uncontested divorce in Naples is the $408 court filing fee plus our flat $750 attorney fee, with a few small situational add-ons. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges. The breakdown below shows exactly what you pay and to whom.
| Cost item | Amount | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| Court filing fee | $408 | Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court |
| Service of process (if spouse must be served) | ~$40-$50 | Sheriff or private process server |
| Parenting course (only if minor children) | ~$25-$50 | State-approved provider |
| Flat-fee attorney preparation and review | $750 | FloridaDivorce.law |
That flat $750 is the same whether or not you have minor children. With children, the package simply adds a parenting plan, a child support guidelines worksheet, and a UCCJEA affidavit at no extra cost. Compare that to traditional Naples retainers that often run $5,000 to $7,500, and the value of a predictable, single price becomes clear.
What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Naples?
To file for divorce in Naples, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before filing, as required by Fla. Stat. §61.021. This is a firm jurisdictional requirement, not a formality the court overlooks. You prove it with a Florida driver's license, a voter registration card, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness.
You do not need to have lived in Collier County specifically for any set period — the six-month rule is statewide. Because Naples sits in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, your case is filed with the Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court as long as you reside in the county.
What if I just moved to Naples?
If you recently relocated to Naples from another state, you must wait until one spouse has completed six continuous months of Florida residency before filing. A recent move within Florida — say from Fort Myers to Naples — does not reset the clock, because the six months is measured against the state, not the county. If neither spouse meets the six-month mark yet, we can prepare everything in advance so you are ready to file the day you qualify.
How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Naples? (Step-by-Step)
Filing an uncontested divorce in Naples follows a clear, repeatable sequence through the Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court and the statewide e-filing portal.
What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Naples?
The core forms for a Naples uncontested divorce come from the Florida Supreme Court approved family law set, and the exact ones depend on whether you have children or property. The table below lists the documents most cases require.
| Form number | Form name | When required |
|---|---|---|
| 12.901(a) or 12.901(b) | Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (simplified or regular) | Always — opens the case |
| 12.902(b)/(c) | Financial Affidavit / waiver of disclosure | When financial disclosure applies under Rule 12.285 |
| 12.913 | Service of process forms | When your spouse must be formally served |
| 12.990 | Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage | Always — the order that ends the marriage |
You can review the official, current versions of every form at flcourts.gov. We prepare all of these for you, correctly tailored to your situation, so you are not guessing which version applies.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Naples?
Many uncontested divorces in Naples finalize in about two weeks when both spouses sign promptly, though court scheduling varies. The mandatory 20-day waiting period under Fla. Stat. §61.19 is the main fixed delay; everything else moves at the speed both spouses are willing to sign. The stage-by-stage view below sets realistic expectations.
| Stage | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Document preparation and review | 1-3 business days |
| E-filing with the Collier County Clerk | Same day to 1-2 days |
| Statutory 20-day waiting period | 20 days minimum (Fla. Stat. §61.19) |
| Final review and judgment submission | A few days |
| Realistic total | About two weeks to a few weeks |
We cannot promise a specific finalization date, because the court controls its own calendar. What we can do is make sure your paperwork is filed accurately the first time, so nothing bounces back and resets your timeline.
What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Naples?
At a final hearing for an uncontested divorce in Naples, a judge briefly confirms that the marriage is irretrievably broken, that both spouses understand the settlement, and that the residency requirement is met before signing the final judgment. These hearings are short and routine when the paperwork is complete and both parties agree. You testify briefly, usually answering a handful of straightforward questions.
Can the final hearing be waived in Naples?
In many uncontested cases, the appearance is minimal and sometimes the hearing can be handled efficiently, but whether any hearing is required is up to the assigned judge and the specifics of your case. Simplified dissolutions under Form 12.901(a) generally still require both spouses to appear, while regular uncontested cases vary by judge. We prepare your case so that, if a brief hearing is set, you know exactly what to expect and what to say.

Frequently Asked Questions: Divorce in Naples
How much does an uncontested divorce cost in Naples?
Our flat fee is $750 for an uncontested divorce in Naples, regardless of whether you have minor children. This covers attorney preparation of all required court documents. The court filing fee ($425.16 total, including the 4% card processing surcharge) is paid separately to the clerk of court.
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Naples?
Most uncontested divorces in Naples are finalized in 2 weeks or less once both spouses have signed the required documents and the 20-day response period (or waiver of service) has been satisfied. Cases involving minor children may take slightly longer to accommodate the mandatory Parent Education Course.
What if my spouse and I don't agree on everything?
Our $750 flat-fee service covers uncontested divorces only — cases where you and your spouse already agree on property division, time-sharing, and support. If you're not fully in agreement, we can refer you to an experienced Florida family law attorney better suited to a contested matter.
Do I need to appear in court for an uncontested divorce in Naples?
No. Florida law allows uncontested divorces to be finalized without a court appearance when both spouses have signed the settlement agreement and all required disclosures have been exchanged. The judge reviews and signs the final judgment based on the filed paperwork.
My spouse and I own a Naples beachfront home and we already agree on who keeps it. Can we still file an uncontested divorce?
Yes. The value of your property does not disqualify you from an uncontested divorce. What matters is that you and your spouse have genuinely agreed on how the beachfront home is handled, whether one of you keeps it, you sell it and split the proceeds, or you settle it some other way, and that you are both willing to sign. Under Florida's equitable distribution framework, your written agreement controls how marital property is divided, so once the agreement is in place, my job is to prepare the paperwork that reflects it accurately. If you have not yet agreed on the home, that disagreement would make the matter contested, and I would refer you to Divorce.law's attorney network instead.
We have trust interests and an account held overseas. Does that prevent us from qualifying for the $750 flat fee?
Not on its own. Complex assets like trust interests and offshore accounts do not automatically make a divorce contested, but they do have to be fully and honestly disclosed as part of Florida's required financial disclosure. If you and your spouse agree on how those assets are treated and you are both ready to sign, an uncontested filing can still work, and the flat fee stays $750. The best next step is to walk through your specific situation with Victoria so we can confirm your agreement covers everything before any documents are drafted. If there is real dispute over the trust or the overseas funds, that would be a contested matter outside the scope of this firm.
