Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I was just served with papers for a dissolution of marriage. I agree with what is cited in the papers and would like the marriage dissolved, so my plan was to just file a simple answer and waiver of trial. It did come to my attention that my ex grossly understated the time that we actually spent living together before separating- hes citing 5 months when in reality it was nearly 2 years. Is this something I should be concerned with as far as filing my answer? State is Florida

If you are waiving any claim to marital distribution or child support, no.
Cannot answer without a review of the papers. See an attorney immediately.
I would certainly deny his claim on that issue and state the true fact. Your answer is only to state admit, deny, etc. You might want to have an attorney review the document with you so that you know what is happening. If you were together for two years, there may be credit cards in both names, or you may be paying a debt that is his and not yours, the vehicles you have, checking and savings accounts. Be sure you understand what you are filing. If you are indigent, please check with the legal aid office in your area.
