You and your spouse have decided you must file for an Orlando divorce, or dissolution of marriage. However, you may not have decided on all the details of the issues involved in your divorce. Important decisions regarding your children, home and any assets or debt are yet to be resolved. After consulting with your experienced Orlando family law divorce attorney, you will better understand the issues you need to consider and your rights and responsibilities regarding those issues.
The Petition for Dissolution of Marriage will be the first document filed with the court that will outline your wishes for a resolution to all of the issues within your particular divorce. Your divorce lawyer will explain that any relief you may ultimately ask from the court must be asked for, or plead, in the Petition. The same is true if you have been served with a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and are filing a Counter Petition.
Ensure your Petition or Counter Petition contains the necessary language to preserve your rights. Schedule an initial consultation with Attorney Wade P. Luther, contact Family Law of Orlando by email or by phoning (407) 835-9900.
