This process can be handled entirely through the mail without either party having to go to a court hearing as long as the parties cooperate with each other throughout the process.

In cases with minor children, you may use the CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES WORKSHEET to correctly calculate child support obligations of the parties. It will walk you through the calculation process, step-by-step.

Note: The Court has generally accepted the amount of child support the parties have agreed upon in their Marital Settlement Agreement as long as the amount of child support is reasonable. A marital settlement agreement is included with your paperwork. Child support may be raised or lowered at a later time if a change of circumstances occurs or if the parties mutually agree to do so, subject to the Court's approval.

Step 2. Someone who knows the PETITIONER has been a Florida resident for more than six months will need to execute a Corroborating Witness Affidavit after the petition has been filed to prove residency of the Petitioner. Able Legal Forms Company will provide this form. The RESPONDENT does not have to be a Florida resident and can reside anywhere in the world. NOTE: The Petitioner must be a resident of the State of Florida for a six (6) month period just prior (next) to filing for Dissolution of Marriage with the present intent to remain a Florida resident. If in the military service and stationed in Florida, Petitioner must have resided in Florida for six (6) months prior to filing. If in the military services and your home state is Florida and you are stationed elsewhere, even overseas, Petitioner may also use this process for uncontested dissolution of marriage without making a court appearance.

Step 3. Mail us your completed FLORIDA DIVORCE INFORMATION FORM, unless you have submitted the form electronically with your payment ($200.00 if no children or $250.00 with children). Payments are accepted by personal check, money order, bank check or by major credit card.

If you prefer, you may fax your information to us at 815-301-1824. Make checks and money orders payable to Able Legal Forms Company. Mail to Able Legal Forms Company, P.O. Box 2144, Foley, AL 36536.

Step 4. Within two (2) days of receipt of your information, excluding weekends and holidays, your requested court documents will be mailed to the Petitioner (unless instructed otherwise) for proofreading, approval and signatures. If corrections or additions are needed, changes will be made and the corrected documents mailed to the Petitioner. Also, the parties will be provided Financial Affidavit forms at this time, which are required by court rules to be filed in each case.

Step 5. Next, if you have chosen to file your case in the county with no hearing (so you will not have to attend a court hearing and you have selected our Courthouse Courier Service) return the executed documents to Able Legal Forms Company, P.O. Box 2144, Foley, AL 36536 with your check or money order for the court's filing fee made payable to "Clerk of Court". This fee is currently $408.00. Otherwise, you would file your divorce papers in the county of your choice. Note: Please be advised that a "signature required" mailing will most likely delay receipt by us. Therefore, it is suggested that you simply use "priority mail with confirmation of delivery" if you want proof of delivery. It is not unusual for our mail to be picked up "after hours" and sometimes the lines at the post office are simply too long to wait--which means the mailing will not be picked up until a later date.

Step 6. Upon receipt of your executed documents and if you have chosen to file your uncontested case in the county with no hearing and you have selected our Courthouse Courier Service, (no hearing required) Able Legal Forms Company will deliver your documents and your filing fee, as requested by you, to the Clerk of the Court. NOTE: If you have chosen to file your case in some other Florida County, we will provide you with detailed instructions concerning where and how to file your case. If so, you will probably be required to personally attend a hearing.

Step 7. You and your spouse should receive your Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage in the mail from the Clerk of Court within approximately four to six weeks from the date of filing. After your divorce is granted, the venue for making modifications to your Final Judgment, such as changes to child support, visitation, custody, etc. will be in the county in which your case was filed. NOTE: If you have minor children born of the marriage or adopted, both parties must complete the mandatory course costing around $40.00 per parent, "Children First Transparenting" course BEFORE the Court will grant your dissolution of marriage. This course is usually taken after the case is filed because a "case number" is needed. Parties living in other counties in Florida should contact their local Clerk's Office for information regarding programs approved in the county where they reside. Parties who reside outside the State of Florida may use an approved alternative course upon court approval. The Clerk's Office will mail you the court's order regarding this course once your case has been filed. NOTE: It is highly recommended that you and your spouse provide us a copy of your class completion certificate. If you do so, we will deliver it to the court as further notification that you and your spouse have completed the required course. It is quite common for the school or clerk of court to lose or misplace this information, which would lead to a delay in the completion of your divorce case.
