Additional Information
The filing fee to initiate a divorce in Florida is $409.00. The Clerk of Court will also charge $10.00 to issue the summons so that a licensed process server or a deputy will serve process on the opposing party. The summons is required unless the other party files a waiver and acceptance of service. As for the cost of the process server, it depends on who is utilized.
A private company will typically charge about $30.00 if service of process is local, while the sheriff’s office normally charges $40.00. Based on the above, when you see law firms advertising online or signs on the street corners advertising that a divorce will only cost you $399.00, please do not fall for the gimmick. The filing fees and costs alone to initiate a divorce will be about $449.00.
If you already obtained a divorce and are either seeking a modification or the enforcement of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage, then the filing fee is $50.00. If you are filing a supplemental petition for modification, then you will need a summons and to have it served on the other party.
On the other hand, if you are filing a motion to enforce the final judgment, then a summons will not be needed. However, it is prudent to have the motion served by a licensed process server on the opposing party.
