Frequently asked questions
Which of us do you represent?
Only one of you. In a divorce, a lawyer can't represent both spouses. Our client is the spouse who hires us; the other spouse signs a document acknowledging that we don't represent them and that they may consult their own lawyer if they wish.
How long does it take?
Florida law generally requires at least 20 days from the filing of the petition before the final judgment can be entered. After that, it depends on when your county's court schedules the hearing.
How much does it cost in total?
Our fee is flat. Separately, the Clerk of Court charges a filing fee, paid directly to the court. We tell you the amount for your county before you file.
Does my spouse have to go to court?
Yes. In a simplified divorce you both sign the petition and appear together at the final hearing. If one spouse won't attend, you have to use the regular process.
What if we have children or someone wants alimony?
Then you don't qualify for a simplified divorce, but you can do a regular uncontested divorce, which we also offer for a flat fee.
Do you help outside Orlando?
We offer attorney-prepared documents anywhere in Florida. Full service, including the hearing, is available in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Polk, Volusia, Brevard, Marion and Sumter counties.
What if my spouse changes their mind partway through?
If one of you no longer agrees, the case can't continue as a simplified divorce. We'll explain your options for moving forward through the regular process.
Can you help us in Spanish?
Yes. We can handle the whole process in Spanish, from the consultation to the hearing.
