Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
Q. Hello, I have recently filed for a divorce and have lived away from my husband for the past 19 years.
A: If you are requesting any financial relief from the court then pursuant to Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.285, there are specific documents that must be provided to the opposing party and a Certificate of Compliance with Mandatory Disclosure must be filed with the court.
Q. Separation agreement question
A: There is no legal separation in the State of Florida. If you wish to seek support from your Husband without filing a petition for divorce then you would file a Petition for support unconnected with a dissolution of marriage and request alimony/support. The process is every similar to a dissolution of marriage in that you will have to file a financial affidavit and advise the court why you need support in the form of alimony. Florida Statute 61.08 deals with alimony.
