Self-Represented
A self-represented party (also called pro se) is someone who handles their own Florida divorce without hiring a lawyer to represent them. They file their own paperwork, attend hearings, and speak for themselves in court. Florida courts provide simplified forms and self-help resources, but self-represented parties are held to the same rules and deadlines as attorneys. Our firm offers a $750 flat-fee uncontested divorce for couples who want professional preparation instead.
