Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Is there a limit on period of time specified in Request for Production (of bank statements)?

I couldn't find a definitive answer in the Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure nor Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.

Additional information you might find relevant if you've got other suggestions:

I've been asked for a tremendous amount of financial information and provided a 3 inch tall stack of documents. Despite this, subpoenas will be sent to obtain documents I previously provided and also a couple years of bank statements for accounts that were closed due to dormancy.

From the very beginning, it seems that my wife's objective is to make our divorce needlessly difficult and expensive. She gets our attorneys involved every time she's upset over petty issues. I had to go pro se after getting a bill for one day of his time which was the equivalent to my take home pay for an entire month. Negative home equity far exceeds all our assets and I just can't bear to take on more debt than the $10k for legal fees I've already spent on what should have been a simplified dissolution. We're not on speaking terms, but I suspect my wife thinks I'd try to stick her with 1/2 the debt and as long as she's going down, she's wants to take me down with he, regardless of the cost. Actually, since most of the debt is in my name only, I was planning to just take the debt hit for both of us and be prepared to declare bankruptcy at some future time, if necessary. I'm hoping to avoid BK and that's why I had to go pro se.
