Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Thank you for your question. Based on the facts you have presented, it appears that this Petition is related to a child (minor). If it is, then some interested person has filed this Petition because he or she believes that a child is in some type of danger and is requesting that the court possibly determine that the child is "dependent."

In some situations, this process is necessary to protect certain children. However, in other situations it can be very burdensome to parents who perhaps have made a mistake and really have the intention of taking care of their children.

Whatever the situation is, please be aware once this process starts, it is very difficult to stop it or slow it down. But there are options.

Please feel free to follow up.
