i understand that i can do most of the paperwork for our divorce via email however, i need to know how to get her signature notarized in a manner that is legal in the state of Florida.
You do not mention what you are having notarized. Different entities have different requirements. Generally speaking, the foreign equivalent of our notary will be accepted.
Normally a motion to intervene is filed by the department of revenue to address child support issues. It does not change whether you are divorced or not.
we use to talk but I guess numbers have changed again. Before when numbers changed I knew where she lived but now I have no way to get ahold of her and it has been 6 months
And what do you want to know? Do you have to continue paying child support? Yes.
It is not. The family court only has jurisdiction under a dissolution of marriage matter to change your name back to your previous name. If you want to change your first name, you will need to file a petition for name change. Good luck!
Property was inherited from decreased parent.
You should mention it in your court filings. If you cannot agree, in the context of your Florida dissolution case, as to the disposition of the property, it may be necessary to ask a Puerto Rican court to adjudicate title to the property.
Spouse filled out the worksheet and it seems very wacky. Somehow he calculated it as $60 bucks per kid. He makes about 6K a month and I make about 9K. He will have them for the weekends, though they rarely go over (they are teenagers) would rather hang with friends. I pay health insurance of about... Read more »

Husband agreed that the house is mine. The paperwork is not finalized. Can I re-fi the house?
You can but while you are still married the other party will need to sign off on the closing. You can refinance in your own name but he will need to sign a quit claim deed regarding title to the property.
During early years of the marriage I found my self unemployed. I went back to college, in doing so, I racked up a bunch of student loans some which are paid off some which are not, maybe like 20K. He does not want to share the burden as he stated they are "mine" however, with my annual Social... Read more »
The issue is not if you were working but rather was the debt acquired during the marriage. You would need to obtain documentation to show when they were acquired.
I have discovered that my spouse has been sending thousands of dollars to a certificate at the bank that I do not have access. I can just see the money leaving. I asked him about it (after the financial affidavit) was submitted, and it was not listed as an asset for anybody. I called the bank, and... Read more »
This will need to be addressed at mediation and/or trial. There are a lot of factors that need to be considered. Where is the money that is being deposited coming from? Is the money truly for the benefit of the child? Is your husband the only person who has control over the account?... Read more »
It is best to get the child support ordered by the Court for many reasons. Use the Florida Child Support Calculator available on-line at www.floridachildsupportcalculator.com/ and calculate how much child support will be and ask that your husband pay that amount while your divorce is pending....

If you want to file for a divorce I would just do that and let child support be handled in the divorce.
The non profit was also supported by marital funds to cover standing bills such as storage units and marketing
If it's a non-profit corporation, it's not "owned" by you or anyone else.
What kind of additional information or correction can I submit to my case before it is finalized?
Simply file an amended financial affidavit. Good luck.
Also stopped paying utility bill. Can I file contempt or what other type of filing can I use to notify judge?
A person can be held in contempt of court if he/she violates a previous order specifically directing him/her not to do a certain thing but does it anyway. Was there a previous order directing him/her not to do these things? Otherwise, why would he/she needs your permission to remove their name off... Read more »
