Understanding the Uncontested Divorce Process in Florida

If you and your spouse can agree on key issues—such as property division, parenting arrangements, and support—Florida’s uncontested divorce process provides a way to complete your divorce with less time, less cost, and far less stress. We are here to help you understand what is involved and how we tailor the process for residents in Cape Coral and Lee County.

Here are the steps typically involved in an uncontested divorce in our area:

  • Eligibility: At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before filing. Both parties must agree on all issues before documents are signed.
  • Documents: You will need to sign several forms, including the petition for dissolution of marriage, settlement agreement, and, if applicable, a parenting plan. Our attorneys prepare and review each document to help avoid any delays.
  • Filing: All paperwork is submitted to the Lee County courthouse. Court fees and procedural details can vary based on your circumstances, and we manage them for you.
  • Final hearing: Some cases require a brief court appearance; others do not. We keep you informed about every local requirement and prepare you if in-person attendance is needed.

Our deep knowledge of Florida’s uncontested divorce process and local court practices helps you avoid common pitfalls, keeping your case on track from start to finish.

Navigating Divorce Challenges—Even When It’s Amicable

Even when couples cooperate during a divorce, challenges may still arise. Issues such as documentation errors, unexpected miscommunications, or last-minute disagreements can add stress. Our attorneys anticipate these hurdles and offer practical solutions to keep your path as smooth as possible.

We stay in close communication throughout the process, monitoring details and addressing any issues immediately. If disputes occur and threaten the uncontested nature of your case, we act quickly to resolve them while keeping things amicable.

However, certain circumstances require a brief final hearing. If that applies to your case, our attorneys prepare you in advance and coordinate every step involving the Lee County courthouse, so nothing is left to chance.

What if my uncontested case becomes contested?

Our attorneys explain all options, seek fair solutions, and support you through any complications so you never face these challenges alone.

How are children and property handled in an uncontested divorce?

An uncontested divorce requires you and your spouse to agree in advance on all arrangements for children, property, and debts.
