You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
The proper venue is in Orange County where the parties resided. If both parties agree, however, they can usually file in any county in Florida. If the husband was to object, the caselaw is clear that the case should be dismissed if filed in Volusia County.
