Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: responding to divorce

Hi:

I strongly suggest that you speak with an attorney since every case should start out properly and you only have twenty days to answer from service and especially if there are children involved and assets.

That being said, you can proceed to represent yourself, and should be able to access the Florida Bar for the necessary forms to be filled in by you and filed with the Court with the necessary filing and service fees, etc.

I will be available for a free consult should you want to discuss this matter further. Please check my profile for my contact information.

Good Luck

Re: responding to divorce

If you are not going to get an attorney, you are going to have to get a lot of information and forms. The response is called an "answer." Be sure to put in it everything you MIGHT be entitled to even if you are not entitled to it or don't want it right now. There are some things you waive your right to if you do not include them in your first pleadings.

I strongly suggest you consult an attorney.
