Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: IDO never filed by my Attorney after Order was granted

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. 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.

If your attorney never prepared and filed the contempt order, you need to contact the attorney and demand that it be done immediately. If you do not get the proper response, it is time to hire new counsel and get the work done. The new attorney will then have to move forward on the contempt order and get the court to enforce the order by a Rule to Show Cause as well as defend against your ex husband's motion for modification.
