Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I have been involved in a child support modification case for 2 years now (the entire case has been going on for 4 years) I had an attorney up until last month when I lost my job and now I just want it over. My ex failed to show up to mediation as well as 2 other hearings and has failed to provide documents requested as well as pay any fines or attorney fees his was ordered to pay as part of a contempt order. He is also severly behind in his child support. At the last hearing the judge "strike his pleadings", can I just have a final judgment done and signed at a short matter hearing? What if my ex finally decides to show up? Is there anything he can do since his pleadings have been striken from the docket?

Set the hearing and have him served, appear for the hearing and resolve the issue. Be careful, he may show up with an attorney. File for contempt as well and have him served at the same time.
