What happens after a divorce proceeding is filed? – October 8, 2024

Once an action for dissolution (divorce) is filed a Standing Family Law Court Order is issued. The party filing the action will receive the document upon filing and the responding party will receive the document when he or she is personally served.

So what does the Standing Family Court Order mean to you? In divorce proceedings:

  • Neither party can permanently remove the minor child(ren) from the State of Florida
  • No property can be sold, transferred, encumbered, concealed, assigned, or disposed of without either the written consent of the other party or order of the court.
  • No unreasonable debts can be incurred by either party.

Life insurance beneficiaries cannot be changed.
