  2. The application must be filed in the county where the defendant resides or in the county where the couple last resided as a married couple.

Florida divorce law is nothing if not thorough. There are literally dozens of forms related to marriage breakdown, domestic violence and all aspects of divorce. Clearly you will not need anywhere near all of these forms.

So where to start? Well you could begin by browsing the contents of the file called Review your state’s guidelines under the heading Florida Divorce Instructions. Just about every question you could possibly ask with its answer is provided. Can a woman resume her maiden name? Who may be given alimony? What does equitable distribution of property mean? Can a non-lawyer give you advice?

You obviously know your situation as far as children and joint assets are concerned. There are forms for every aspect of a divorce. Download the appropriate form. Many have instructions. There is also a separate file just with instructions. This is called Instructions for completing the forms.

Everything is provided and, as you can see, is laid out in an easy to find and download section. There are forms both you and your spouse must jointly sign and there are forms which require a witness, a third party. That person could be your friend.

There are costs in obtaining your divorce in Florida via the Internet. The court will charge an admin fee when you file the application but even if you hired a lawyer, that fee would still apply and your lawyer would pass this expense on to you.

And speaking of lawyers, some people who use the Net to file for divorce, choose to make one visit to a divorce lawyer just for peace of mind. You don’t have to do this. The court does not require that you have a lawyer.

Thousands of couples in Florida have obtained a divorce using the Internet to work through the courts. You could be one of them.
