A Simple, Attorney-Handled Way to Get Divorced — Without Court Appearances
An online divorce in Florida allows eligible couples to complete an uncontested divorce remotely while still meeting all Florida legal requirements.
When spouses agree on the major issues, the divorce can often be prepared, filed, and finalized without in-person court hearings.
​
This page explains what online divorce actually means in Florida, who qualifies, and how to know if it’s the right option for your situation.
What “Online Divorce” Means in Florida (And What It Doesn’t)
In Florida, an online divorce does not bypass the legal system.
It means the process is handled remotely — not that legal requirements are skipped.
​
An online divorce typically includes:
-
Secure online information collection
-
Divorce documents prepared according to Florida family law
-
Filing and court review without courtroom appearances in most uncontested cases
An online divorce does NOT mean:
-
Automatic approval
-
Skipping judicial review
-
Filing generic forms without legal compliance
All Florida divorces still require proper filings and a judge’s approval.
Is Online Divorce Legal in Florida?
Yes. Florida law allows uncontested divorces to be completed without in-person court hearings when all legal requirements are met and documents are properly prepared, filed, and reviewed by the court.
​
A judge still reviews the case and enters a Final Judgment of Dissolution — the difference is that the process is handled remotely.
Who Qualifies for an Online Divorce in Florida?
You typically qualify for an online divorce in Florida if all of the following are true:
-
At least one spouse has lived in Florida for six months
-
Both spouses agree the marriage should end
-
All issues are resolved, including:
-
Property and debts
-
Parenting plans and child support (if applicable)
-
-
Both spouses are willing to sign required documents
If disagreements arise or a spouse refuses to participate, the case may no longer qualify as uncontested.
​​Online Divorce in Florida With or Without Children
Online divorce is available in Florida with or without children, provided both spouses agree on:
-
Parenting responsibility and time-sharing
-
Child support terms that meet Florida requirements
Cases involving children require additional documentation and court review, but do not automatically require a court appearance when uncontested and properly prepared.
Do You Have to Go to Court for an Online Divorce in Florida?
In most uncontested online divorces, no court appearance is required.
A judge reviews the filed paperwork and issues a final judgment without a hearing.
​
In rare situations, a judge may request clarification or additional information, but this does not automatically require appearing in court.
How the Online Divorce Process Works in Florida

Final Judgment – Once approved, a Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage is entered.
​
When properly prepared and uncontested, this process often moves forward without hearings.
