Respond to a Florida Divorce

If you have been served with divorce papers, there are important steps you must take if you want to participate in the case. In most Florida cases, you generally have 20 days after being personally served to file a response. If you do not respond, the court may allow the case to move forward without your participation.

This eligibility review will ask you a few questions to determine whether you qualify to file a response to a divorce case and which response packet best fits your situation. If you are looking to start a new divorce case instead, you should use the Divorce Filing Eligibility review.
