Wondering if you can even file for divorce in Florida yet? Start with one question. 📍
Florida has a residency rule: at least one spouse must have lived in the state for the six months before filing. That's the threshold — meet it, and you can move forward.
An important distinction: The Florida residency requirement has nothing to do with the immigration designation of residency or having a green card. The residency requirement simply means that you have lived in Florida for 6 months before filing, not that you need a green card to get divorced.
What it means in practice:
✅ Only ONE of you needs to meet the 6-month residency
✅ You can still qualify if you live apart or a spouse moved away
✅ Once you qualify, an uncontested divorce can be done 100% online
✅ Flat fee, free unlimited legal advice, often under 30 days
With 25+ years of experience, I'll confirm you're eligible before anything else — no wasted time.
