The family law rules in Florida are complex. Chapter 61 of the Florida Statutes is the source of many family law rules in Florida developed by the Florida Legislature. The Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure adds many other rules that were implemented by the Supreme Court of Florida. These rules are then interpreted by judges at the trial and appellate levels, which creates additional nuances to the way the rules are applied to your case.
We are here to guide you through this process. Call us to schedule a consultation: (727) 820-1688.
