Before you begin: This questionnaire collects the information your legal team needs to build your case. You do not need to complete it in one sitting — use the "Download PDF" button on each tab to save your progress and return later.

Complete each tab in order

There are four information tabs: Parties & Marriage, Children, Marital Property, and Alimony. Work from left to right. Not every section will apply to your situation — skip what does not apply and note it where you can.

No field is required — but detail matters

We have not marked any field as required because we understand you may not have every piece of information at hand. That said, the more complete your answers, the more effectively your attorney can prepare your case. If you are unsure about something, provide your best approximation and note your uncertainty.

Save your progress at any time

Each tab has a "Download PDF" button. Click it to save that section's answers to your device. You can email the PDF to assistant@jrglawpa.com if you cannot finish everything in one session.

Parental responsibility

Parental responsibility refers to who makes major decisions for the children — education, healthcare, religion, and extracurricular activities. This is separate from timesharing (where the children physically reside).

Shared parental responsibilityBoth parents share equal decision-making authority on major matters affecting the children. This is the default in Florida and is encouraged in most cases where both parents are fit and involved.

Shared parental responsibility with ultimate decision-making authorityBoth parents share responsibility, but one parent has the final word in a specific category (e.g., education or healthcare) if the parties cannot agree. The other parent must still be consulted.

Sole parental responsibilityOne parent has exclusive authority to make all major decisions without consulting the other. Florida courts reserve this for situations where shared responsibility would be detrimental to the children.

If requesting ultimate decision-making or sole responsibility — which categories and why?

Timesharing is the schedule that determines when the children are with each parent. Please describe your proposed schedule as specifically as possible.
