Re: out of state divorce (Florida/Indiana)

There are non-profit legal aid organizations who can evaluate your situation and perhaps represent you pro-bono. You should check within the county where the petition was filed.

Now as for location, was your husband a resident of Florida when he filed? How long had you been in Indiana when the petition was filed?
