Filing Packet Composer
The packet, composed — and gated before it's 'ready.'
Every case shape gets its manifest: the official forms by number with links to the source that controls, the steps in order, and the honest gates — the agreement must be assembly-ready, the facts must agree with the packet, and the Filing Check must pass before this page will say file-ready. The official forms are what get filed; this composer organizes, maps your facts, and refuses to pretend otherwise.
Your packet shape
Derived from your fact graph — override only if you know your path differs. The qualifier decides simplified eligibility; when in doubt, run it first.

The official form, at the source ↗Filing fees and local requirements are verified with your clerk and county page — this platform never types a fee it can't source, and the county's current published practice controls.

Not file-ready yet — the gates say why
- ✗ Required steps open: agreement-ready, affidavit-organized, disclosure, filing-check, county, eportal.
- ✗ The Agreement Assembly Line is not assembly-ready — the agreement comes before the packet.
- ✗ Run your drafted papers through the Filing Check and clear the defect scan — the exit gate, not a suggestion.
The clock — from the statute, not a promise
Florida law generally bars entry of a final judgment of dissolution until at least 20 days after the petition is filed (§ 61.19, Fla. Stat.); a court may act sooner only on the statute's required showing. Clerk and court processing add county-varying time on top.
