• 22 May 2013Q: If I am getting a divorce what do I put under alimony and property if I am not seeking alimony and we have no property?
  A: Follow the directions for the form you are filling out. You can find forms for divorce at flcourts.org. I charge only $750 for an uncontested divorce and the filing fee is over $400. It sounds like there is nothing that cannot be agreed to.
• 22 May 2013Q: I filed to have my case in PA transferred to FL 11 mo ago (it is still in process). Can I get it modified back to then?
  A: If you want to get something done, you do need to hire an attorney. It is a relatively easy process to get it moved to FL, but because you have relied upon the government child support people, a lot of them simply do not know what to do. Get a certified copy of the PA final judgment and file it here. That is if he lives here also.
