Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Divorce
I am in the process of getting a divorce. I have already filed the Petition for
Simplified Divorce as we have no children together, she is not pregnant, we have
only been married five months before we separated (I filed for Divorce on our
six-month anniversary), we obtained absolutely no property together or
individually, no cars, no house, no stocks, no furniture, nothing at all.
However, she will not agree to the divorce unless I give her my car which I
owned long before we met and she refuses to return the vehicle to me. What are
my options, and what forms to I now file since she has returned her response
saying we cannot agree on the martial assets. My research shows we have no
martial assets at all. How do I fle my next motion and can I just go and get my car?

Re: Divorce
If the car is titled in your name, then yes, you can just go get it. If she refuses to agree to all the issues in your divorce, your case has to be set for trial. The clerk's office will probably know who to contact to set the case for trial. You each must file Financial Affidavits and follow Family Law Rule 12.280.
