Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am going through a horrible divorce in Florida. My husband lead a double life out of the country. He is a convicted felon and is hiding our assets in shell coprorations he formed in Delaware and Nevada. He stole my identity and forged my name to open a business checking account for a nightclub we own and since he is a convicted felon he could not use his name. I want to press charges during the divorce. He also gave false information to obtain a License to visit a immediate family member in Cuba he does not have. I feel if I do not report him he will flee the country amd leave me with nothing. My attorney did not protect me and put liens on our properties and I do not have the funds to hire another. What can I do to protect me and my children?

Do you know where significant portions of the marital funds went? Can you prove it? How much total (approximately) can you locate?

Have any injunctions been issued?

Did a judge enter Order(s) regarding the liens? How much are the total lien(s)?

Who was your attorney? Who is his attorney?

Have any depositions been taken?

Has the case been mediated?

If for whatever reason you opt to proceed without counsel, then good luck to you. However, be informed that if things continues to go badly, you will not be entitled to a second bite at the apple.

The above information is provided without any consideration having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
