Milton, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You need to check the judgment terms to ensure that it gives you permission to take this deduction. If it doesn't, you need to advise her of what you intend to do and get her agreement.

Dear Ms. Smith: Unfortunately,  Christmas has passed. However, even if your husband leaves the state, you can still have him served in the state where he lives, and, provided he lived with you at one time in Florida, he would (with certain exceptions) be subject to the jurisdiction of the Florida courts.  That means the divorce action can proceed in Florida.  However, you seem to be contemplating pursuing support without obtaining a divorce.  There is a process for doing that as well, and your husband can be served out of state. Depending on how busy a firm is, our firm can usually prepare  a petition for divorce within 10 days or less after the client and attorney meet to discuss the case, and ensure all information is obtained in order to proceed.  You would be well served to discuss your case in more detail  to determine which path (support unconnected with divorce or divorce) would be best for your situation.
