If your divorce is completely uncontested (both parties agree on all the terms of your divorce including Asset & Liability Divisions, Spousal Support , if applicable, Parental Responsibility, Visitation, Custody ect…) then you complete this questionnaire (questionario-Espanol) and fax back to 904-531-3003 or scan and email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Within 24 hours, Dr. Hetsler will personally contact you to go over the questionnaire and get the specifics of your arrangement so that all the required divorce paperwork can be prepared. Thereafter, Dr. Hetsler will prepare a proposed settlement agreement for you and your spouse to review. Upon approval and after all revisions are made, an appointment will be made for you and your spouse to come in and sign all the required documents. If one spouse is not able to attend because of location or other reasons, the paperwork can be mailed or emailed and then returned to our office. A majority of the documents will require a notary which service we will also provide.

After the paperwork is signed by both parties and the REQUIRED divorce county filing fee is given to us (in Florida it is around $409.00 in most counties), our office will take the paperwork down for filing at the local courthouse. Thereafter, your case is assigned to a family law coordinator who will control the flow of your case through the system. However, our office will assist in preparation of all of the required paperwork so that once it is filed you will just be waiting to attend the one time final hearing to make your divorce official. See the Pricing page for costs.

Additionally, all parties to a divorce in Florida must complete a financial affidavit. If your gross personal income is under $50,000 per year then you complete the short form and if it is over $50,000 per year you complete the long form.

Finally, if you have children you are also required to complete one Parenting Plan that must be signed by both parties and submitted to the Court for review and approval.
