Can I re-marry without getting a divorce?

Divorce lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
No, you cannot. You can only be married to one person at a time. If you do get married, the new marriage will be void. You might also subject yourself to prosecution for bigamy, a 3rd degree felony in Florida, with a punishment of up to 5 years in prison.

What should i do if i'm receiving a ORDER OF REFERRAL TO A FAMILY MEDIATION

Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
 This is a little complicated.  I am not sure how you are trying to get the case dismissed, but if you have filed the proper motions, there will need to be a hearing on the motion to dismiss.  And that most likely will require your attendance.  (There are some exceptions, but too involved to get into here).  As to the Order of Referral to Mediation, you could file a Motion to Postpone Mediation and state in your motioin that  you have a Motion to Dismiss  pending, and that motion should be disposed of before you go to mediation.  Send a copy to the family mediation unit and contact the judge's case manager about setting this for hearing. Candidly, because of the numerous procedural and jurisdictional issue involved in your case, you should seek out an attorney for a consultation, at the minimum.    Best of luck, Cindy S.

My wife left the state w/ my child w/out notice. Never came back. I need to file divorce now. Did she abandon me?

Mr. Scianna, Run...don't walk... to an attorney on Monday.   You do not say where your wife went, but for the purposes of your child, Florida  is the "home state" where matters relative to the child are to be determined..provided the child lived here for 6 months prior to your wife leaving.  You have a right to request from a Florida court that an order be entered to return the child to Florida.   Assuming there are not other factors at play that you have not put in your question, you may well be able to obtain from a court a "pick up" order to have your child returned to Florida. At the very least, since you mention another order of court from another state, the Judges can get on the phone with each other and attempt to sort out the competing state issues. Also, if your marriage is over, then Florida is the proper state to hear the divorce as well since this appears to be the last state your wife and you lived together.  There are a lot of complicated issues involved in situations such as yours.  The best bet is to immediately consult with an attorney who can get more of the facts, and take immediate action to help you get your child back.
