You do not have to have him sign any papers, just get a summons and get him served to get the case moving. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659
Why did you think a dissolution of marriage would be easy? Until you have been in Florida 181 days a Florida court has no jurisdiction; if you wish to proceed immediately you will have to file in New York.
Since he was never in Fla. you will need to bring an action in NY to get in personam jurisdiction over him and alimony. Fla. could merely give a marriage dissolution.
