Law Office of Susan L. Ray

I have experience with child custody, child support, and property division. I comprehend what you are experiencing since I have been there. Like any other civil case, you can start a dissolution of marriage. All dissolution cases are filed in the Circuit Court of your county. Still, courts in some parts of Florida suggest that more specific documents be utilized and filed in these sorts of cases. This court will get a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Your partner must have a summons served personally to him or her. He or she will then have 20 calendar days to respond or answer. Waiver of the twenty-day time limit and the other party not having to get a summons personally served on them can happen in only small instances, which is according to the law and the Florida Family Law Rules of the Procedure. Within 45 days of the service of the petition, you and your partner are required to exchange preliminary financial disclosures, or if you both agree, each party shall complete and serve under oath. However, you must exchange, with reasonable documentation, the minimum mandatory disclosures that are stipulated by the Supreme Court of Florida. If your divorce is uncontested, you can waive these disclosures. You will also have to attend mediation if the divorce is not entirely agreed to be resolved.
