It is not advisable for any person to complete paperwork to file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in Florida without having a detailed consultation beforehand with a family law attorney to discuss the ramifications of such action. There are companies and even law firms that offer low-cost paperwork for a person to file their own paperwork. Once again, this is not advisable since a spouse may lose certain rights if the Petition does not raise all claims between the parties or if the Final Judgment does not appropriately resolve all family law issues.
A person should also consult with a Florida family law attorney prior to vacating the marital home or moving away from the residence where the children live. In addition, a person should also seek advice from a Florida family law lawyer if they are served with any type of family law action that is filed by the other party. Once again, important legal rights may be adversely impacted if you do not take immediate action.
If you cannot financially afford to pay for a consultation, we suggest that you review the information in this website to obtain a general understanding of family law topics and contact the Legal Aid Society located in your county to determine if you are eligible for free services.
