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. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
As long as you have been a resident of Florida for more than 6 months, you can file for divorce in Florida. If your husband does not contest, it will be quick and easy. This presumes that since you have been separated for over 20 years there are not property or child support issues that need to be resolved.
