Florida Simple Divorce Involving Children - Home

Whenever a marriage has produced minor children there are special consideration that need to be addressed. Issues of Custody, visitation and child support, for example.  This can also be an easy and inexpensive situation in which a divorce can be accomplished. The parties must at all times keep the children’s best interest as their top priority.  It is easy to forget how the decisions you make for yourself will have a direct impact on your children.  If you have any remaining chance to save your marriage, I encourage you to exit this website and make every effort.  If you are confident you have done so and are solid in your decision to proceed I will be happy to help.

Couples can be divorced in approximately 30 days assuming all parties sign the documents drafted for them and return them to my office promptly.  The courts will not look at a Divorce file until at least (20) twenty days have past since it is filed with the clerk of courts. 

There are no hearings for you to attend.  All the paperwork needed will be drafted and sent to you for signing.  My office takes care of the rest until the divorce is finalized. 

FEES AND COSTS 

To pay the filing fee of $408 online, the charge is $420 because of the credit card fees I get charged. Otherwise please make a check payable to Philip Darnell for the $408 which you can mail back with your signed documents.

ATTORNEYS FEES:                                                   $300.00 

CLERK OF COURTS FILING FEE:                           $420.00

 

If all paperwork is signed as drafted by both parties and returned to my office, this is the total cost of your divorce.  There are no hidden costs or fees.  The only time there would be additional fees is if both parties decide they want changes made to the documents.  If changes are requested, there will be a $50.00 re-draft fee to make the change. Obviously if the change is necessary due to a drafting error on my part, there would be no charge.

 

Filling out all information as accurately as possible will assist in processing your case and keep your costs down. Any question that does not apply to your situation please put "N/A" in the blank.
