Florida publishes every divorce form for free, and now fills them in for you too. What nobody gives you is a second pair of eyes before you hand the packet to the clerk. That's the part we sell — for a flat fee, with a named preparer's name on the filing.
Read this before you pay us anything
DIY Florida, run by the Florida courts inside the E‑Filing Portal, walks you through a guided interview for simplified dissolution and other family cases, generates the official forms, and e‑files them for you. There is no charge for the service. If a free tool does what you need, use the free tool — we'd rather tell you that here than take your money and have you find out later.
Choose your level of help
Every price below is a flat fee. No subscriptions, ever. County filing fees are paid to the clerk and we never mark them up.
Free · the courts
Best if your case is straightforward, you're comfortable online, and you want to keep every dollar.
When forms aren't enough
No document service, ours included, is the right answer to every divorce. Talk to a Florida attorney if any of these describe you:
You don't have to hire someone for the whole case. Under limited‑scope representation, a Florida lawyer can handle one piece — reviewing your settlement agreement, appearing at a single hearing, or answering one question — for an agreed fee, while you keep the rest.
Find a limited legal services lawyerBring your own packet
You finished at DIY Florida or filled in the PDFs yourself. Upload the packet and a preparer checks it before you file.
Prepared & reviewed
We build the packet from your answers and review it before delivery. One fee, start to finish.
Before you choose a package
Picking the wrong one is the most common reason a divorce packet comes back from the clerk. Read both lists. If you don't meet every line under simplified, you need the uncontested package.
The honest version
Exactly what's in the packet
These are the same forms the courts publish free at flcourts.gov. What you're paying for is the interview that fills them, the review that checks them, and the instructions that get them filed.

What this actually costs you
Paid to JusticeXpress
Review only, or the full prepared and reviewed package. Charged once. Never renews.
Paid to your county clerk
The filing fee, set by statute, plus about $10 to issue a summons. Some counties add local surcharges. We never touch this money and never mark it up. If your income is low enough, ask the clerk about a civil indigent status application.
Paid to others, sometimes
Notary or online notarization, a process server if your spouse must be formally served, and a lawyer if you hire one for part of your case. We tell you upfront whether your case needs these.
Questions people actually ask
You wouldn't, if free is enough. DIY Florida generates correct forms from your answers — it just doesn't tell you whether what you entered makes sense, whether the packet is complete, what your county expects, or which pages need a notary. If your case is simple and you're confident, use the free tool. We built the $49 review precisely so that using it doesn't lock you out of a second look.
Because the extra work is small and we'd rather show you the arithmetic than round the number up. $49 buys the review. The other $50 buys the plain‑language interview and a marital settlement agreement drafted from your actual terms — the one document the courts hand you blank. In an uncontested case with children there are four drafted documents instead of one, which is why that package is $349.
Read the list in the second card above. If any line describes your case, the money is better spent on an hour of a lawyer's time than on any document service. Limited‑scope representation means you can buy that hour without handing over the whole case — a Florida attorney reviews your agreement or handles one hearing at an agreed fee, and you do the rest yourself.
Yes — that's what the review is for. Save or download your completed forms before you file them, upload the PDF, and a preparer returns it within three business days with everything flagged and county filing steps attached. If the packet is clean, we'll tell you that and you file it yourself.
We can give you the requirements, which are on this page, and we can explain what each one means. We cannot apply them to your situation and tell you which petition to file — that's legal advice, and a nonlawyer is not permitted to give it in Florida. If you're unsure after reading both lists, that uncertainty is exactly what a limited‑scope consultation is for.
No. You file, which is what keeps you in control of your own case and keeps our fee where it is. You get exact instructions for your county — where to go or how to e‑file, what to bring, what it costs, and what happens next.
One. A simplified dissolution is filed jointly and both of you sign the petition. In an uncontested dissolution one spouse files and the other is served or signs an answer and waiver. Either way it's one flat fee for the case, not one per person.
If a packet we reviewed is rejected for something our review should have caught — a blank field, a missing signature or notary block, an outdated form version, an inconsistency across documents — we correct it and refund your fee. We can't guarantee an outcome in your case, and no honest service can.
No. JusticeXpress Florida is a document preparation service, not a law firm, and using it does not create an attorney‑client relationship. We prepare documents from the facts you give us and we explain procedure. For advice about your situation, talk to a Florida‑licensed attorney.
Read the law for your situation at no cost, use the courts' free forms if they'll do the job, hire a lawyer for the part that needs one, and come back to us for the rest.
