How to File for Divorce in EZ Florida Divorce

Filing for divorce in  EZ Florida Divorce involves two main steps: the initial filing and finalizing the divorce. While much attention is given to the filing process, the crucial part is finalizing the divorce, which includes the final orders that resolve property division, debt responsibility, alimony, child custody, and support.

Step 1: Filing for Divorce

Filing for divorce initiates your case with the court. Here are the basic steps:

Prepare Your Petition:

  1.  Submit a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage to the Circuit Court. Determine the appropriate court based on residency:
    • Are you or your spouse a  EZ Florida Divorce resident?
    • Has either of you been a resident for more than six months?
    • Identify which party is a  EZ Florida Divorce resident.

Submit Paperwork:

Each Circuit Court may have unique forms and documents required along with the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Present your paperwork to the court clerk and pay the filing fee or submit a fee waiver request.

Identify Necessary Documents

It's your responsibility to determine and accurately complete all documents needed to finalize your divorce.

Step 2: Finalizing Your Divorce

Finalizing the divorce is more complex because your paperwork must detail your specific situation and be reviewed by a judge. Even if you and your spouse agree on the terms, a judge must approve them. Here are additional steps:

Contested vs. Uncontested:

  1.  Determine if your divorce will be contested or uncontested. Will your spouse cooperate? Do you know their whereabouts? Your answers will influence how your case is processed.

Locate Your Spouse:

If you don’t know your spouse’s location, you must take extra steps to try to find them and provide notice before the judge finalizes your divorce.

Draft Final Judgment:

Your Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage must be accurately drafted. EZ Florida Divorce judges will not sign off on insufficient or poorly prepared documents. If you use a non-attorney service, disclose it properly to the court.
