# Uncontested Divorce in Palm Coast, Florida (2026 Guide)

FloridaDivorce.law handles a flat-fee $750 uncontested divorce for Palm Coast residents, 100% remote, with every document attorney-prepared and reviewed before filing. You pay a separate $408 court filing fee to the Flagler County Clerk. Florida lets you divorce when the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052, with no need to prove fault or assign blame to either spouse.

Does Your Palm Coast Divorce Qualify as Uncontested?

Your divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on every issue, so the court has nothing to decide for you. That agreement covers how you split property and debt, and, if you have minor children, time-sharing and child support. The moment one issue is genuinely in dispute, the case becomes contested and the flat-fee path no longer fits.

In my experience, many Palm Coast couples assume that owning a home or having retirement accounts automatically makes a divorce complicated. It does not. A retiree couple dividing a pension and a beach-area property can still file uncontested, as long as you both agree on who gets what and put it in writing.

How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost in Palm Coast?

The full cost of an uncontested divorce in Palm Coast is the court filing fee plus your attorney fee, with a couple of small situational add-ons. Our flat fee is $750 whether or not you have minor children, and it never changes mid-case. The court charges its own fee directly, which is separate from anything you pay the firm.

The $750 covers document preparation, licensed attorney review, e-filing, and guidance through final judgment, with no surprise billing. If your spouse signs a waiver of service, you skip the service-of-process cost entirely.

What Are the Residency Requirements to File for Divorce in Palm Coast?

At least one spouse must live in Florida for six months before filing, under Fla. Stat. §61.021. You prove residency with a Florida driver's license, a Florida voter registration, or the sworn testimony of a corroborating witness. You do not need to have lived in Flagler County for any set period, only in Florida for the six months.

What if I just moved to Palm Coast?

Palm Coast is one of Florida's fastest-growing communities, and many residents arrive from out of state. If neither you nor your spouse has hit the six-month Florida mark, you cannot file yet under Fla. Stat. §61.021. Once either of you crosses six months, you qualify, even if your spouse still lives in another state.

How Do You File for an Uncontested Divorce in Palm Coast? (Step-by-Step)

You file an uncontested divorce in Palm Coast by submitting a petition and supporting forms to the Flagler County Clerk of the Circuit Court, then waiting the statutory period before final judgment. The case is heard in the Seventh Judicial Circuit. Here is the path from start to finish.

What Forms Do You Need for an Uncontested Divorce in Palm Coast?

The forms you need depend on whether you qualify for the simplified track and whether you have minor children. Florida publishes every approved family law form at flcourts.gov, and our firm prepares the correct set for your situation so you are not guessing.

If you want a quick read on which track fits your facts, ask Victoria.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Palm Coast?

Many uncontested Palm Coast cases finalize in about two weeks when both spouses sign promptly, though court scheduling varies. Florida sets a 20-day waiting period after filing under Fla. Stat. §61.19, which is the main fixed clock in your timeline. The rest depends on how fast documents get signed and how quickly the court processes the final judgment.

We never guarantee a specific finalization date, because court timing is outside any attorney's control.

What Happens at the Final Hearing for an Uncontested Divorce in Palm Coast?

Many uncontested Palm Coast divorces conclude without you ever standing before a judge. In a simplified dissolution, both spouses generally must appear briefly, while many regular uncontested cases with a complete settlement are finalized on the documents alone. The judge confirms the marriage is irretrievably broken under Fla. Stat. §61.052 and that your agreement is complete, then signs the final judgment.

Can the final hearing be waived in Palm Coast?

In many regular uncontested cases with a signed settlement agreement, the Seventh Judicial Circuit can enter the final judgment without a live hearing. Whether your specific case requires an appearance depends on the judge and the track you file under. When an appearance is needed, it is usually short, and we tell you exactly what to expect beforehand.
