The Florida Bar Re Amendment to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure (dissolution of Marriage)

Summary

The court adopted a modified simplified dissolution-of-marriage procedure and related forms after considering comments from The Florida Bar and other interested parties. The procedure permits qualifying parties to proceed without private counsel, while making property settlement agreements and financial affidavits available for use when appropriate rather than mandatory. The rule and forms became effective June 1, 1984, at 12:01 a.m.
