You Do Not Have to Figure Everything Out First
Many people contact us before they know what type of divorce they need. You may not have spoken with your spouse yet, or you may be unsure whether they will cooperate.
That is okay. Tell us a little about your situation, and we will explain the document preparation process that may apply.
Is a Simple Divorce Right for You?
A simple divorce generally applies when:
- You and your spouse do not have minor or dependent children together.
- Neither spouse is currently pregnant.
- There is no real estate, retirement account, business, or other property that must be divided through the divorce.
- Neither spouse is requesting alimony.
Not sure whether something counts as property? You can still complete the form. We will review your answers and help you understand the available options.
Three Ways a Simple Divorce May Proceed
1. Divorce by Mutual Agreement
When both spouses agree to the divorce and are willing to sign the required documents, the case may be completed without a court hearing.
This is usually the simplest and fastest option because the documents are signed before the case is filed.
2. Divorce by Summons
Your spouse does not have to agree for you to begin the divorce process.
When a spouse will not sign voluntarily, the case can be filed and the spouse can be formally served. Summons cases generally require additional steps and a final court hearing.
3. Divorce by Publication
When you do not know where your spouse lives, the court may allow the case to proceed through publication after the required searches have been completed.
We can assist with the diligent-search documents, publication process, filing, and the additional paperwork required to move the case forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my spouse have to agree to the divorce?
No. If your spouse will not sign voluntarily, you may still be able to proceed by filing the case and having your spouse formally served.
What if I cannot locate my spouse?
You may be able to proceed through divorce by publication. This requires completing specific searches and publishing notice according to court requirements.
Will I have to attend a court hearing?
Mutual-agreement cases may be completed without a hearing when the court approves the written submission. A summons case generally requires a final hearing.
Do I need an attorney?
Many people complete a simple divorce without hiring an attorney. Divorce in Florida Online is a document preparation service and does not provide legal advice or representation.
How long will my divorce take?
The timeline depends on whether your spouse signs voluntarily, must be served, or cannot be located. Mutual-agreement cases are generally faster than summons or publication cases.
