Divorce/Dissolutions
Annulment of Marriage $225.00
To file for an annulment in Florida, a petitioner generally prepares and files family court documents such as a petition for annulment, family court cover sheet, notice of related cases, summons or waiver/answer if applicable, final judgment of annulment, report of annulment, and any required county-specific forms. Florida Courts provide statewide family law forms, while some judicial circuits offer annulment packets with additional instructions and sample forms.
Grounds for annulment may include a void marriage, such as bigamy, incest, or permanent mental incapacity preventing consent; or a voidable marriage, such as temporary incapacity from mental impairment, alcohol, or drugs; fraud that goes to the essence of the marriage; duress or force; underage marriage without proper consent; undisclosed impotence; or a marriage entered into as a joke.
A voidable marriage may become valid if the wronged spouse ratifies it after learning the facts, such as by continuing the marital relationship after discovering fraud, duress, or temporary incapacity.
Dissolution of Marriage With Children and No Property $350.00
This type of Florida divorce applies when spouses have minor or dependent children together, but do not have property or debts for the court to divide. Even without property issues, the court must still address parenting and child support matters before the divorce can be finalized.
At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for at least six months before filing. Florida is a no-fault divorce state, so the usual reason for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
Because children are involved, the parents must have a court-approved parenting plan. This plan explains how major decisions will be made, when the children will spend time with each parent, how exchanges will work, and how parents will communicate. The court reviews these terms based on the best interests of the children.
Child support is also usually required. The amount is based on Florida’s child support guidelines, including each parent’s income, health insurance, childcare costs, and the time-sharing schedule. The court may also address uninsured medical expenses and when support ends or changes.
In most cases involving minor children, each parent must complete an approved parenting course before the court enters final orders.
Motion for Civil Contempt/Enforcement Family Court $99.00
This motion may be used when a party believes the other party has failed to do something required by an existing order, such as paying support, following a parenting plan, transferring property, providing insurance, or complying with another family-law obligation.
When This Motion Is Used
This motion is generally used after the court has already entered an enforceable order or final judgment and a party believes the other party is not complying. It is not usually the correct form to ask the court to create a new order or change an existing order; modification requests usually require separate supplemental petitions or motions. The motion should clearly identify the order being enforced, explain what the other party was required to do, describe how the other party failed to comply, and state what relief is being requested.
Common Family Law Issues Enforced
• Child support: Failure to pay court-ordered child support, medical support, childcare expenses, or uninsured medical costs.
• Alimony: Failure to pay court-ordered spousal support.
• Parenting plan and time-sharing: Failure to follow exchange times, holiday schedules, communication terms, or other parenting-plan requirements.
• Property or debt obligations: Failure to transfer property, refinance or pay debts, sign required documents, or complete other obligations ordered in a final judgment or settlement agreement incorporated into a court order.
• Insurance or expense sharing: Failure to maintain required health insurance, life insurance, or reimburse court-ordered expenses.
Civil Contempt vs. Enforcement
Civil contempt focuses on whether a party failed to comply with a clear court order despite having the present ability to comply, or having had the ability to comply when compliance was required. Enforcement may also involve asking the court to require compliance with the prior order, even when contempt is not the only or best remedy. The moving party generally has the burden to show the existence of a valid order and the other party’s noncompliance. Once noncompliance is shown, the responding party may have an opportunity to explain or prove an inability to comply.
Pre Nuptial Agreements $225.00
A prenuptial agreement—often called a prenup or, in Florida, a premarital agreement—is a written contract made by two people before they get married. It explains how certain property, debt, financial rights, and support issues will be handled during the marriage, if the marriage ends in divorce, or upon death.
Key points:
A prenup is signed before marriage, unlike a postnuptial agreement, which is signed after marriage.
It can address:
Ownership and division of property
Separate versus marital assets
Responsibility for debts, Business interests
Bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, and real estate
Alimony or spousal support, within legal limits
Estate-planning rights and inheritance expectations
To be enforceable, a Florida prenup generally should be In writing, Signed by both parties, Entered into voluntarily, Based on fair disclosure of assets, debts, and income unless disclosure is properly waived, Free from fraud, duress, coercion, or unconscionable terms
A prenup generally cannot predetermine child support, parenting time, or parental responsibility in a way that overrides the child’s best interests or Florida law. The agreement usually becomes effective only when the marriage occurs.
Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) with No Children or Property - $259.00
In Florida, divorce is legally called a dissolution of marriage. This type of case applies when spouses do not have minor or dependent children together, but do have property, debts, or other financial matters that must be divided.
To file in Florida, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months before filing. Florida is a no-fault divorce state, so the usual reason for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
Because there are no minor children, the case does not involve parenting plans, time-sharing, or child support. The main issues are dividing marital assets and debts, such as a home, mortgage, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, credit cards, business interests, or personal property.
Florida uses equitable distribution, which generally starts with an equal division unless fairness supports a different result. If both spouses agree, they may file an uncontested case with a written marital settlement agreement. If they do not agree, the court may decide disputed issues after financial disclosure, mediation, hearings, or trial.
Either spouse may also request alimony depending on financial need, ability to pay, the length of the marriage, the parties’ standard of living, and other financial circumstances.
Dissolution of Marriage With Children and Property $350.00
This type of Florida divorce applies when spouses have minor or dependent children together and also have property, debts, or financial matters that must be divided. Because both parenting and financial issues must be addressed, this is usually one of the more complete divorce case types.
To file in Florida, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months. Florida is a no-fault divorce state, so the usual reason for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
Because children are involved, the case must include a parenting plan, time-sharing schedule, parental responsibility, child support, health insurance, and related children’s expenses. The court reviews parenting terms based on the best interests of the children.
The spouses must also divide marital property and debts, such as a home, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, credit cards, loans, business interests, and personal property. Florida uses equitable distribution, which usually begins with an equal division unless fairness requires a different result.
Either spouse may also request alimony depending on financial need, ability to pay, the length of the marriage, standard of living, and other circumstances.
If both spouses agree on all issues, they may submit a settlement agreement, parenting plan, child support documents, and proposed final judgment. If they do not agree, the case may require financial disclosure, mediation, hearings, or trial.
Motion to Set Hearing - $150.00
Florida Motion to Set Hearing is a request asking the court to place a pending motion, petition, or other matter on the judge’s hearing calendar. In Florida civil cases, a motion generally must be in writing, state the grounds for the request with particularity, and identify the relief or order sought; notices of hearing must also specify each motion or matter to be heard under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.100. [floridacou...trules.com]
In practical terms, the motion usually tells the court that an issue is ready to be heard, identifies the pending matter, explains why a hearing is needed, and asks the judge or judicial assistant to schedule a date and time. Depending on the county, division, judge, and case type, the party may also need to coordinate available dates with opposing counsel, file a separate notice of hearing, comply with local administrative orders, or use the court’s online scheduling system. Florida civil case-management rules and local procedures can vary by circuit, so it is important to check the applicable circuit or judge-specific requirements, especially after the 2025 civil case-management amendments noted by Florida Courts.
Post Nuptial Agreement $295.00
A Florida postnuptial agreement is a written contract entered into by spouses after they are already married. It sets out how certain financial and legal matters will be handled during the marriage, if the spouses separate, or if they later divorce.
Key points:
Unlike a prenuptial agreement, which is signed before marriage, a postnuptial agreement is signed after marriage.
It may address:
Division of marital and separate property
Responsibility for debts
Alimony or spousal support
Business ownership interests
Real estate, retirement accounts, investments, and bank accounts
Estate-planning expectations, depending on the circumstances
In Florida, a postnuptial agreement generally should be:
In writing
Signed voluntarily by both spouses
Based on full and fair financial disclosure
Free from fraud, duress, coercion, or overreaching
Fair enough to withstand later court review
Postnuptial agreements can be used to clarify finances, protect separate assets, preserve family wealth, or resolve marital financial concerns.
Issues involving children—such as child support, parenting time, and parental responsibility—are generally subject to court review and cannot be finally controlled by a private agreement if the terms are not in the child’s best interests.
Because spouses owe each other fiduciary duties, Florida courts may closely examine whether the agreement was fair and voluntarily made.

Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) with Property but No Children - $350.00
This Florida divorce category applies when spouses have minor or dependent children together and also need to divide property, debts, or other financial matters. It is usually the most complete type of divorce case because the court must address both child-related issues and property-related issues before entering a final judgment.
At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before filing, and the usual legal ground is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Because children are involved, the case must include a parenting plan, time-sharing schedule, parental responsibility, child support, health insurance, and related children’s expenses.
The court must also divide marital assets and debts through equitable distribution. This may include the home, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, business interests, credit cards, loans, and other property or obligations. Either spouse may also request alimony depending on financial need, ability to pay, the length of the marriage, and other circumstances.
If both spouses agree on all issues, they may file an uncontested case with a settlement agreement, parenting plan, child support documents, and proposed final judgment. If they do not agree, the case may require financial disclosure, mediation, hearings, or trial.
Answers to Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) $199.00
An answer is the written response filed by the spouse who receives divorce papers. In Florida, this spouse is usually called the respondent. The answer tells the court which parts of the divorce petition the respondent agrees with, disagrees with, or needs to explain.
A respondent usually has 20 days after being served to file an answer. If no answer is filed on time, the other spouse may ask for a default, which can allow the case to move forward without the respondent’s participation.
An answer may be used when the respondent wants to participate in the case but is not asking the court for separate relief. If the respondent wants the court to grant their own requests, such as parenting orders, child support, alimony, property division, debt allocation, or restoration of a former name, they may need to file an answer and counterpetition instead.
If both spouses agree on all issues, the case may proceed as uncontested. If the answer disputes any issues, the case becomes contested and may involve financial disclosure, mediation, hearings, or trial. Common issues include residency, whether the marriage is irretrievably broken, parenting, child support, property division, debts, alimony, attorney’s fees, or facts in the petition that are inaccurate or incomplete.

Marital Separation Agreement
$295.00
A Florida marital separation agreement is a written contract between spouses who are living apart or planning to separate. It usually explains how they will handle financial, property, parenting, and support issues while separated and, if they later divorce, it may become the basis for a final divorce settlement.
Key points:
Florida does not have a formal “legal separation” status like some states do. Spouses can live separately, but a court generally does not issue a legal-separation decree.
A separation agreement can still be useful as a private contract between spouses.
It often covers:
Division of marital property and debts
Responsibility for bills, mortgage, rent, insurance, and taxes
Spousal support/alimony arrangements
Parenting time and decision-making for children
Child support, health insurance, and child-related expenses
Use of the marital home or vehicles
If the spouses later file for divorce, the agreement may be submitted to the court as a marital settlement agreement, but the court can review issues involving children to ensure they are in the child’s best interests.
For enforceability, the agreement must be in writing, signed by both spouses, and entered voluntarily with full financial disclosure.
Petition to Determine Paternity
$299.00
A Petition to Determine Paternity in Florida is a court filing used to legally establish who a child’s father is when the parents are not married or when paternity has not already been legally established.
It can be filed by the child’s mother, the alleged father, or sometimes another authorized party.
The petition asks the court to legally determine paternity and may also request related orders.
Common issues addressed include:
Legal determination of the child’s father, DNA or genetic testing, if paternity is disputed, Child support
Health insurance and uncovered medical expenses, Parental responsibility and decision-making authority, Timesharing or a parenting plan, Birth certificate updates, if appropriate
In Florida, establishing paternity gives the child legal rights and responsibilities involving both parents, including support rights, inheritance-related rights, and access to family medical history.
If the parents agree on paternity, the process may be simpler; if paternity is contested, the court may order genetic testing.
Once paternity is established, the court can enter enforceable orders regarding support and parenting issues.
