What paperwork must I file when throwing in the towel on a trial dated divorce hearing?
Anonymous4 views4 answers
My divorce trial is in one month, current attorney withdrew. Was granted that motion. I cannot afford another and divorce in Florida, I live in Indiana. Decided to throw in the towel, and need to know what I need to file or do for this to occur. I do not want to be held in any kind of legal financial obligation. I live in Public Housing , on a small fixed income. I don't want to lose my housing. I just want to explain, I can no longer proceed with this divorce without representation and husband can have it all. This has been going on since 2012, and I no longer have the means the fight.
You need to contact his attorney (or him if he does not have one) and ask that they send you a settlement proposal. A blank marital settlement agreement is available at www.flcourts.org .
Rather than simply not show up or agree to all of his demands. You may want to just come down for the trial, represent yourself, and do the best you can on your own behalf and then accept whatever the court determines. The court is supposed to provide for equitable distribution and follow the law on all other issues.
