| WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I RETAIN THE FIRM? |
- MANDATORY DISCLOSURE - We will need for you to provide to us standard
documents that are required to be produced to the opposing party/attorney and we
will file a Compliance with Mandatory Disclosure. In a divorce proceeding, it is not
unusual for opposing attorney to seek additional documents (Request to Produce) such as account records, credit card
statements, and related documents. If the request for additional documents is
reasonable and the documents are normally subject to discovery, we will work
with you to produce the documents in a timely manner. If the request is not
reasonable and/or are not entitled to review the documents, we will file an
appropriate objection.
- FINANCIAL AFFIDAVIT - We will complete a financial affidavit.
However, if your financial circumstances change for any reason during the
divorce proceeding, we will file an amended financial affidavit on your behalf.
Our staff will work with you completing this affidavit.
- PARENTING CLASS - The State of Florida requires both parties to
attend a parenting class prior to the completion of your dissolution if the
marriage has children. This is a very informative class and will provide
guidelines and tools to help you, your spouse and your children get through this
process as well as promote healthy relationships going forward. Upon completion
of this class, you will be given a "Completion Certificate." We will need the
original certificate so that we may file with the court. You do not have to
attend with your spouse.
- VISITATION SCHEDULE - We will provide you with the "standard"
visitation schedule for your county. Please note that this only a guide.
Visitation may be modified upon the agreement of both parities', mediation,
and/or court order. (insert link pdf visitation schedules)
