Summary Judgment in a Florida divorce

Summary Judgment in a Florida divorce

Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Divorce

Summary judgment as to certain issues in a Florida family law case can be granted. A summary judgment means there are no disputes as to material issues of fact, and therefore it is not necessary to have a trial, and the judge can just decide the merits of the case based on testimony and other evidence that has been provided. This was an issue in the case Rich v. Rich, et. al., 2D20-440 (Fla. 2d DCA January 14, 2022).

Florida divorce: Due process in freezing marital assets

Florida divorce: Due process in freezing marital assets

Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Divorce

When a spouse fears the other spouse is disposing of assets or removing money from bank accounts, a request to freeze assets may be made to a Florida divorce court. Because this is a form of injunction, it must be requested a certain way. A party’s failure to properly request the correct relief related to freezing assets may result in denial of the request. This was an issue in the case Doddapaneni v. Doddapaneni, 5D20-1735 (Fla. 5th DCA May 7, 2021).
