Florida · Uncontested divorce
How much is an uncontested divorce in Florida? (2026)
The number most people mean by cost is the court filing fee, which in Florida runs about $408 to open a dissolution case. That is paid to the clerk, not to us, and it is the same whether you file with or without children. A few smaller costs can follow depending on how you serve your spouse and whether you want certified copies.
- Court filing feePaid to the county clerk to open the case
- $408
- Service of processIf the sheriff or a private server delivers papers
- $10–$40
- Certified copy of final judgmentOptional; useful for name changes and banks
- $2–$10
- Fee waiverCivil indigent status can cover the filing fee if you qualify
- $0
Can't afford the fee? Florida offers a waiver (Application for Determination of Civil Indigent Status). If you qualify, the court filing fee drops to $0. See the waiver form
