Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Yes, he can petition for a divorce in Florida. If you need assistance, please contact my office at 904-371-3538 or email me at [email protected].

As long as one (1) of the parties has been a resident of Florida for at least the past six (6) months, jurisdiction would be proper in Florida.

If at all possible, he should get her served with the court papers. If he can't find her, he can still proceed with the divorce, but it would be more involved, and he would have to run an newspaper advertisement per the applicable statute.

If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.

The above information is provided without any consideration/payment 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
