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.

Florida laws require that all divorcing parents with minor children complete a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course. The law states that it is in a child's best interest if parents understand the divorce process and its impact on their child. Florida statute 61.21 explains the requirement in detail.
The parent education course may be taken online, but only from a course approved by Florida's Department of Children and Families. Each parent must submit a Certificate of Completion to the court. In an agreed divorce, the parents have 45 days to complete an approved course.
However, the judge can't finalize your divorce without a Certificate of Completion from an approved course.It is best to have the course completed when your case is filed with the court. Also, the law recommends that the parent education course be taken and completed as soon as possible. The course at Our Parenting Class is approved by Florida's Department of Children and Families and accepted by all District Courts in Florida.
