Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

In order to file in Florida you or soon to be ex have to have a been a resident for six months prior to filing. Since I assume your ex still resides in Florida you can file here.

For Florida to have jurisdiction, at least one of the parties has to have been a resident for at least 6 months prior to the filing. Does your spouse satisfy this requirement?

If there are no substantial assets or liabilities involved, and there are no minor children of the marriage, with no land owned, then you might be well served by pursing the divorce without counsel. In Florida this is referred to as a "Simplified Divorce". If a "Simplified Divorce" is not appropriate, I suggest that you at least consult with an attorney.

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
