- State: Florida
Answer:
If you meet the residency requirements in Florida, which state that at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before filing, you can pursue an uncontested divorce. This means both you and your spouse agree on all terms, allowing you to file based on the grounds that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
You can use the forms available through US Legal Forms, starting at $35.00, to file a petition for dissolution of marriage in circuit court. If you and your spouse cannot agree on the divorce terms, you will need to file a contested divorce and may use the contested divorce forms from US Legal Forms. In such cases, it's advisable to consult a local attorney.
