Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Attendance required after settlement signed?

My parents are getting a divorce. My mother moved from VA to FL & filed there. My father just settled with her, signed the papers and sent them back without contacted a lawyer of his own. Does he need to go to FL when the papers are finalized and signed by the judge?

He does not have to appear. It is up to him.
