The Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure
In Florida there are a number of sets of Rules grouped by subject and identified by the first digit of the particular rule number. For example, the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure are classified in the set assigned number 1 and are numbered as 1.xyz, like 1.140. The Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure have been assigned number 12 and are numbered as 12.xyz, like 12.285. Again, this component of the Florida Divorce Laws provides guidance and instruction regarding issues that are not fully addressed in the Florida Divorce Statutes.
For example, the Florida child support statute shows how to calculate child support. However, the statute is limited in its language regarding the service of the documents that are often used to calculate the child support. So, the Rules supplement the Statute and specifically indicate when financial affidavits and other documents need to be provided to the other parent depending on what the parent is requesting and at what point in the proceedings it is being requested.
Please consider that in order to maximize your chances of a fair result in your Florida divorce case, you should be familiar with the components of the Florida Divorce Laws that apply to your divorce based on your individual situation.

You should be familiar with each of the above components in order to maximize your chances of a fair and equitable result in your divorce case. In the previous segment of the Florida Divorce Laws we discussed the first component, the Florida Divorce Statutes. Please consider this three part overview of the Florida Divorce Laws in determining whether you should consult with an experienced Florida divorce lawyer regarding your Florida divorce.
