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.

If your divorce involves children your divorce case will require documents and/or legal language to address timesharing with the child and child support. Under Florida law a “Parenting Plan” must be included with the Final Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage. The Parenting Plan includes the primary residence for school zoning purposes, rights of the parents, the visitation schedule, the child support, and also provides for other issues that may affect the child.
As a general rule, an uncontested divorce case with children usually contains the following documents, but again the following list may not be complete for your personal situation and set of circumstances.
The common documents are:
In cases involving the division of certain retirement accounts the court may require a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). There could also be additional documents that are wise to complete as part of the divorce process but not required by or submitted to the court. One common example is a quit claim deed. This document is used when one spouse is awarded real property (house/land) and it transfers the other spouse’s interests in the property to the spouse awarded the real property.
The bottom line is that there are number of factors that determine what documents are needed in any divorce case as well as what language should or shouldn’t be contained in the required documents.
