Under Florida law, no final judgment of dissolution of marriage can be entered until at least 20 days have passed from the date the original Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed in the Circuit Court. The court can waive the 20-day delay and finalize sooner if waiting would cause injustice. Filing sooner starts the clock sooner, but there is no guarantee the judge assigned to your case will sign the final judgment on day 21, timing depends on the judge’s calendar and the court’s workload. We file your case in Lee County, Florida, which generally processes agreed divorce cases much faster than any other county in the State of Florida. Any couple can mutually agree to file their case in Lee County, Florida, regardless of where they reside.

Cost of Divorce in Florida

We use clear, flat-rate pricing, with no hidden fees or subscriptions.

Divorce in Florida can be completed in two different ways: through a fully online uncontested process or through a traditional attorney-handled process. Online divorce is ideal for spouses who already agree on all major terms and want a faster, more affordable, and fully digital solution. Traditional divorce is still an option, but it is typically slower, more complex, and significantly more expensive due to hourly billing and multiple court procedures.

Cost Comparison: Online Divorce vs. Traditional Divorce (Florida)

Cost Category Online Divorce (Fast Florida Divorce) Traditional Attorney-Handled Divorce
Case Review and Document Preparation Fee $195 (or $99 + $99) + $5 administrative fee No flat fee; hourly billing typically begins immediately
Legal Compliance Fee $176 total (Remote Online Notarization for both spouses) Fees vary by provider and are typically billed separately
Case E-Filing Service Fee $75 + Court Fee* Included within attorney’s overall fees + Court Fee
Attorney Billing Not applicable beyond flat fees $225–$325/hr or $1,250–$2,500+ flat fee
Document Preparation Included in $195 Charged hourly or included within flat fee
Timeline Often completed within 4–5 weeks Often months, depending on attorney workload and court scheduling
Appointments / Court Visits None (completely online) Multiple appointments and potential hearings
Typical Total Cost $446 + Court Fee $1,500–$5,000+, depending on complexity

*Court Fee ($424.12) is separate and is paid to us, after which we are sending it to the court.

Cost of Online Divorce in Florida

The total cost of an online uncontested divorce through Fast Florida Divorce begins with a flat $195 service fee (or 2 payments of $99). A $5 administrative processing fee applies to all credit card and manual payments (Zelle/money order).

What’s Included in the $195 Fee

Your $195 covers:

  • Full online questionnaire capturing your agreements
  • Attorney-prepared divorce documents for both spouses
  • Online delivery of all documents
  • Communication with the legal team
  • Petitioner review/approval handling
  • Next-step instructions once required payments are made

Important:
The $195 fee does NOT include online notarization or court filing. These steps occur after both spouses approve their documents and require the additional costs listed below.

Required Costs After Both Spouses Approve Their Documents

1. Fast Virtual Divorce Service - $176 total (or $88 per spouse)

This service is required for online notarization and includes:

  • Online signing of the divorce documents
  • Remote Online Notarization (RON) for both spouses
  • Secure financial affidavit exchange
  • Final document review by our legal team
  • Expedited transition to the filing stage

This payment is made after the Petitioner approves the drafted documents and before the Respondent reviews them.

2. Court Filing Costs - $499.12 total

To file your case with the Florida Circuit Court, two separate fees apply:

  • $424.12 – Mandatory Florida court filing fee
    (Paid through us; this is the exact amount required by the court.)
  • $75 – E-Filing Service Fee
    We electronically file your case and monitor it until final judgment.

Total filing cost: $424.12 + $75 = $499.12

This payment is made after both spouses complete online notarization.

Optional Add-On Services

(These are not required to complete your divorce.)

  • Vehicle Power of Attorney – $25
  • Document Revisions – $25–$50
    (Revisions due to our error are free.)

Cost of Traditional Divorce in Florida

Traditional attorney-handled divorces in Florida vary widely in cost due to attorney fees, court procedures, required documents, and the amount of conflict between spouses.

Court Filing Fee

The court filing fee is mandatory for all divorces:

  • $408 base fee
  • $424.12 total with convenience charges

Fee waivers are available only for qualifying low-income individuals.

Attorney Fees

Typical pricing for family law attorneys in Florida:

  • $225–$325 per hour
  • $900–$1,300+ for a simple agreed divorce (4–6 hours of work)
  • $1,250–$2,500+ flat fees are common
  • Higher costs when children, real estate, or disputes are involved

Additional Potential Costs

  • Mediation fees
  • Service of process
  • Trial preparation
  • Hearings
  • Attorney-to-attorney negotiations
  • Supplemental filings

Total expenses can rise quickly depending on complexity.

Why Online Divorce Costs Less

Online uncontested divorce eliminates most of the costs associated with traditional attorney representation:

  • No hourly billing
  • No in-person appointments
  • No multiple court appearances
  • Fully digital signing and notarization
  • Predictable flat-rate pricing
  • Faster processing times

Most online uncontested divorces are completed significantly faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional divorce.
