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.

You chose a faster way to divorce. Keep that momentum going after the judgment.
A signed Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage is a milestone, not the finish line. Banks, employers, insurers and government offices still need to hear about your new status, and each one has its own forms and its own pace. As a Fast Florida Divorce customer, the Post-Divorce Administration service from Disentangle Me comes with your case as an add-on, with no extra charge. Normally a $35 one-time fee, it is yours free.
Once the judgment is in your hands, a second to-do list begins. Accounts may still carry two names. Beneficiary forms may still point to the wrong person. A property record may still show a former spouse. Small loose ends like these are easy to overlook, and they tend to surface at the least convenient moment.
The judgment resolves questions between the two of you. It does not reach out and update every organization that holds your information. Your bank, your lender, your employer, your insurer and every government office that has your name on file is a separate party with its own forms, its own proof requirements and its own pace. None of them is notified automatically, and none of them is obliged to act until you ask in the way they require.
That is why the work after a divorce feels larger than people expect. It is rarely one hard task. It is a long run of small tasks, each with a different rulebook.
Most people do not skip these tasks on purpose. They start one, hit a form they do not understand or an office that wants a document they do not have, and set it aside. Weeks later the account is still joint, the record still shows the old name, and a small oversight has turned into a phone call to sort out. A checklist that lists the tasks that apply to you and reminds you of what is still open is the difference between finishing and drifting.
You chose Fast Florida Divorce because you wanted to get through the process without dragging it out. It would make little sense to move quickly through the court stage and then stall on the paperwork that follows. Including this support keeps the momentum going well past the courthouse.
Is Post-Divorce Administration really free?
Yes. It is included at no additional charge for Fast Florida Divorce customers. Fees set by third parties, such as government agencies, banks or title offices, are charged by them and are not part of this add-on.
Is this part of my divorce case?
No. Your divorce case and this add-on are separate. The add-on begins where the court process ends and covers the paperwork that follows your Final Judgment.
Does this replace my attorney-supervised case team?
No. It is a separate administrative service for the tasks that follow your judgment. Questions about what your judgment means for your rights should go to a licensed Florida attorney.
How long does setup take?
Registration takes a few minutes, and the short form that personalizes your checklist takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Most questions are yes or no.
What should I keep within reach?
Your judgment, photo ID, and recent statements for any account you share with your former spouse. Your checklist covers the rest.
Do I have to use the third-party services you mention?
They are introductions offered when a task calls for one. Whether to use them is your decision.
Who do I ask if I get stuck?
Email info@disentangle.me. The team is available Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, as listed on disentangle.me.
Post-Divorce Administration is offered by Disentangle Me as a free add-on to Fast Florida Divorce customers. It is administrative guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. Third-party and government fees are not included.
