Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

written transcript

I am pro se. The recomended order

for final judgement from magistrate after final hearing was almost identical to whatever wrote the oposing party lawyer. I have filed at

Court objection to the magistrate order with explanation, why I could not from urgent financial shortage( caused by my husband-personal bankruptcy, the Court left my husband with the business we founded together and I lost job and as well as any financial settlement...)file the written transcript of the hearing. It would cost $1260.The judge wrote to me that my objection would be denied without the transcript. Is there anything else I can do? The recomended order is very unfair and I do not want to loose a chance to get granted another hearing etc...

Is that true that, for filling Appeal later to the final judgement I would need to refair to the hearing and to the written transcript, so I would need the writen transcript anyway?

Re: written transcript

One always needs the transcript for an appeal. The appeal goes to the higher court, and the higher court cannot rule if they do not have the transcripts. Transcripts, however, are very expensive. I wish I could be of more help, but you probably aren't going to get very far without one.
