How it works — FAQ
- How long does an uncontested divorce take in Florida?
- Most uncontested cases handled through The Quick Divorce wrap up in roughly 4 to 8 weeks from filing, though the court calendar is beyond our control and timing varies by county.
- Do both spouses need to use The Quick Divorce?
- Only one spouse needs an account to start, but the process is designed for both partners to participate. Florida uncontested divorces require both spouses to sign the marital settlement agreement before a judge will finalize the case.
- Do I have to appear in court?
- For most Florida uncontested divorces, only the petitioner attends a brief final hearing (often available by Zoom in many counties). Simplified dissolution cases require both spouses to attend together.
- Can I switch plans or upgrade later?
- Yes. You can start with the Core plan and upgrade to Essential or Premium at any time before filing if your situation needs more support.
- What happens if my spouse stops cooperating?
- Uncontested divorce requires both spouses to agree on all major issues. If your spouse stops cooperating, your case becomes contested and you should consult a licensed Florida family-law attorney — our service is not designed for contested matters.
