Florida Divorce Facts

Statistics frequently point to the facts that clearly show the incidence of divorce in Florida is exceptionally high. The state of Florida does not have what is known as “fault-based” divorce. Because Florida only accepts no-fault divorces, there is no need to put the fault for divorce on one party. Florida only demands that you state that the marriage is irretrievably broken, or that a spouse has been mentally incapacitated for three or more years. Florida generally requires you to be a resident for at least six months. Florida requires that you file your divorce papers in the county where you live. Court Source prepares the documents. You then file those documents in the clerk’s office. We have multiple office locations throughout Central Florida or can come directly to you at no additional charge.

HOW TO FILE DIVORCE PAPERS IN FLORIDA

Florida requires that you present a notarized copy of your divorce papers to the county clerk in the county where you reside. You can go to a notary public and have your forms notarized, or you can wait until you get to the courthouse. In most Florida counties the court will have a notary available for you to use, for a small fee. Once your Florida divorce papers are notarized and signed, you can present them to the clerk. You will also be required to pay a filing fee to the state. Once the fee is paid, the clerk will provide you with a copy of your divorce forms with a stamp showing the date that the documents were filed. You will need to make a copy of these forms for your own records, as well as a copy to serve to your spouse.

HOW TO SERVE DIVORCE PAPERS IN FLORIDA

For your filing to be complete, you will need to serve a copy of your divorce papers to your spouse. You can do this in several ways, including:
  • Having your spouse or his/her attorney fill out an “Answer and Waiver of Service”.
  • Have a sheriff serve your spouse.
  • Have a private process server serve your spouse.
  • Serve your spouse by “constructive service” – by publishing the notice in a local paper for 30 days.
The easiest option is to have your spouse fill out an “Answer and Waiver of Service”. He or she can find the form at the courthouse, fill it out, have it notarized and delivered to the clerk. If your spouse is not cooperative, you can pay either a sheriff or a private service to serve the divorce papers. Sheriffs are sometimes less expensive, but they may take some time to deliver the papers. A private company is usually faster. As a last resort, when you cannot locate your spouse, you can publish a notice of the divorce in your local newspaper. This is a more expensive option, but sometimes you do not have much of a choice. Florida also requires you to give a completed financial affidavit to your spouse, where you list all of your income, assets, debts, etc. You must do this within 45 days of serving your spouse with divorce. With your spouse served and all forms submitted, you only have to wait for the final decision of the court. In Florida, an uncontested divorce can take a minimum of four weeks to process.
