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 you and your spouse are unable to reach an agreement on the issues of your divorce (how to divide property, debts, spousal support, or if children are involved how to handle child support and timesharing) mediation is a tool that most lawyers and judges encourage or require before any court room battle occurs.
Some couples simply need a third party to listen to them and help communicate their position to their spouse. Often couples aren’t that far off and one mediation session is enough for the couple to reach agreement. Once in agreement the couple uses our online uncontested divorce service to complete their Florida divorce. By avoiding costly litigation, couples save thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars in legal costs by reaching an agreement and completing an uncontested divorce.
You and your spouse may benefit from and reach agreement with virtual divorce mediation. A virtual session is affordable and conducted by an experienced mediation attorney entirely online. No travel or office visits are required. You and your spouse can attend the mediation from your own separate computers and from the privacy of your own home or office.
