Nothing too big or small
Divorce services for every situation
Uncontested divorce
If you and your spouse already agree on key issues, an experienced attorney can help ensure your paperwork is completed correctly, your agreements are properly documented, and your divorce is finalized as smoothly as possible.
Get started
Filing for divorce
Whether you're filing for an uncontested divorce or dealing with more complex issues, an experienced divorce attorney can help you understand your options, complete the necessary paperwork, and take the next step with confidence.
Get started
Time-sharing & parenting plans
Whether you're creating a parenting plan, negotiating time-sharing arrangements, or dealing with a dispute, legal guidance can help you protect your relationship with your children and work toward a solution.
Get started
Spousal support
Spousal support, often called alimony, can be one of the most complex issues in a divorce. Whether you're seeking support or may be required to pay it, an experienced attorney can help you understand your rights, obligations, and the factors that may affect your case's outcome.
Get started
Divorce settlements
Many divorces are resolved through negotiated settlement agreements rather than a trial. An experienced attorney can help you evaluate proposals, negotiate key terms, and work toward a resolution that protects your interests while helping you avoid unnecessary conflict.
Get started
Contested divorce
If you and your spouse disagree on issues like time-sharing, finances, or dividing assets, having the right legal support can make all the difference. Work with an experienced divorce attorney who can help you navigate conflict, protect your rights, and move your case forward.
Get started
Responding to divorce papers
Understanding your rights and responsibilities early can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your interests. Work with a divorce attorney to help you evaluate your options and develop a strategy for moving forward.
Get started
Child support
Child support can have a real impact on both parents' futures. Understanding how support is calculated, what factors courts consider, and what options may be available can help you make informed decisions.
Get started
Property and asset division
Dividing property during a divorce involves more than deciding who gets what. Homes, retirement accounts, investments, businesses, and debts may all need to be considered. Legal guidance can help you understand your options and work toward a fair division of marital assets.
Get started
Post-divorce modifications
Life changes after divorce. Whether you need to modify time-sharing, child support, spousal support, or another court order, an attorney can help you understand your options and pursue changes that reflect your circumstances.

Your questions, answered
Filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the Pinellas County Clerk of the Circuit Court costs $397.50, plus $10.50 to record and report the final judgment — $408 total — per the Clerk's fee schedule (revised May 27, 2026). Serving your spouse adds a $10 summons fee. With Marble Law, you pay only for the services you need.
Pinellas County works differently than some neighboring counties: the Sheriff's Office does not serve private, non-enforceable civil summonses like a divorce petition — its Court Processing Unit only handles government-issued or enforceable process. If you're a private citizen or represented by an attorney, you'll need to hire a private process server from the Sheriff's own monthly-updated referral list.
Family law cases from south Pinellas County, including St. Petersburg, connect to the St. Petersburg Judicial Building at 545 1st Avenue North, while most contested family matters go to the Unified Family Court at the Pinellas County Justice Center or the main Clearwater Courthouse. Which building applies can depend on your case's stage, not just where you live.
Under Sixth Judicial Circuit Administrative Order 2011-006, mediation is discretionary for initial filings but automatic for nearly every post-judgment or support dispute in the St. Petersburg and Clearwater sections once a final judgment is entered. Court-provided mediation costs $60 per person per session for household income under $50,000, $120 between $50,000–$100,000, and private rates above that.
Yes — the Sixth Judicial Circuit has a dedicated process for self-represented (pro se) parties to schedule a hearing before the St. Petersburg General Magistrate, separate from the circuit's judges. It's one of the more accessible paths for resolving a narrow or uncontested issue without an attorney, but you still must follow the same procedural rules as attorneys.
You can ask the Clerk to waive your filing and service fees by submitting an Application for Determination of Civil Indigent Status with your petition, based on your income, assets, and debts. The Sixth Circuit's mediation program uses a similar test — if you're found indigent, you also won't be charged for court-provided mediation.
