Union County Divorce FAQs

What is the residency requirement to file for divorce in Florida?

At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for 6 months before filing for divorce. This requirement is set by state law and applies throughout the state, including Union County.

Is there a waiting period for divorce in Florida?

Florida has a 20 days waiting period. This applies to divorce filings throughout the state, including Union County, and the total time to finalize depends on the court's caseload and the case itself.

How much does it cost to file for divorce in Union County?

The court filing fee for a divorce in Florida is $400–$500. Fee waivers may be available for filers who cannot afford the fee — ask the court clerk about the waiver process. Beyond the filing fee, the median total cost of an uncontested divorce in Florida is about $2,500 (2022 data).

Does Florida allow no-fault divorce?

Yes. Florida is a pure no-fault jurisdiction — neither spouse needs to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce.

How is property divided in a Florida divorce?

Florida uses equitable distribution: marital property is divided based on what the court finds fair in the circumstances of each case, which is not always an equal split.
