Q: How do I find out what papers to final for final divorce hearing in Osceola County Florida
I am at the tail end of my divorce but cannot get soon to be ex's attorney to file for final hearing. Everything has been signed and agreed upon since July 2019 and we just need the final hearing for the judge to sign off on. My ex's attorney has been ducking my calls and won't file for that final hearing. I am representing myself. As my own representative do I have to continue to chase her attorney around trying to get him to file that final hearing paperwork or, as my own representative, is there some way for me to file some type of paperwork myself to get this final hearing over with?
A: I don't know how they schedule hearings in Osceola County, but in most parts of NW Florida we simply call or send and e-mail to the judge's assistant requesting a hearing date. Be sure to copy the opposing counsel of course, and file a notice of hearing when you have been given the date.
