File the right document, the right way.

Every Florida Supreme Court approved family law form, organized by number. Start here for any form referenced in the checklists. Using unofficial or outdated forms is a common reason pro se filings get rejected.

Florida Supreme Court self-help page with plain-language guides for each form, step-by-step filing instructions, and explanatory videos. Read the guide for your form before filling it out.

File documents electronically with the Pinellas County Clerk, pay filing fees, and track submission status. Florida requires e-filing for represented parties; self-represented parties may e-file or file in person. E-filing gives you a timestamped receipt.

Search Pinellas County court dockets by case number, party name, or attorney. Use this to confirm documents were filed, check when opposing counsel filed something, and see hearing dates before you receive formal notice.

Free in-person and online assistance for self-represented litigants in Pinellas and Pasco counties. Court staff can tell you which form to use, how to complete a cover sheet, and what the next step in your case is. They cannot give legal advice but can answer procedural questions.

Procedural rules governing all Florida family court cases — service deadlines, discovery timelines, motion requirements, and hearing procedures. If a deadline or procedure is unclear, this overrides anything you've read elsewhere. Opposing counsel knows these rules.

Free civil legal assistance for qualifying low-income residents in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and surrounding counties. Provides representation, clinics, and legal document preparation. Income limits apply — check eligibility online.

Search judicial campaign finance records by candidate name. Useful when cross-referencing attorneys who practice before a judge against that judge's donor list. Fully public under Florida law.

The Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure (Rules 12.010–12.740) govern every deadline, filing requirement, and hearing procedure in your case. Free at the Florida Legislature website. If you need to argue that opposing counsel missed a deadline or filed something improperly, this is where you look it up. The Florida Bar also publishes these at floridabar.org/rules/rlfp/ with annotations.

The Florida Division of Corporations maintains every registered business entity in Florida — LLCs, corporations, partnerships. If your spouse owns a business, has ownership in a business, or is a registered agent for any entity, this is where you find it. Free, real-time search by name, officer, or registered agent. Critical for financial disclosure verification.

Search all Pinellas County real estate by owner name, parcel number, or address. Shows current assessed value, deed history, ownership changes, and whether a homestead exemption is claimed. Use this to verify real estate listed on the financial affidavit, check for undisclosed properties, or confirm when a property was purchased and at what price. Fully public under Florida law.

The Federal Aviation Administration maintains a national registry of all registered aircraft by owner name. Search by individual name or business entity. Aircraft are a common vehicle for concealing marital assets — a plane registered to an LLC that your spouse controls still counts as a marital asset. Free, public, and searchable by owner. Run your spouse's name and every business entity you find on Sunbiz.

The U.S. Coast Guard National Vessel Documentation Center maintains ownership records for federally documented vessels (typically 26+ feet or commercial vessels). Florida-registered boats are separately tracked by FDLE. Use NVDC for larger vessels that may have federal documentation. Free ownership lookup by vessel name or owner name. Boats are frequently omitted from financial affidavits.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings are public records of secured loans filed against business assets. If your spouse or their business borrowed money using equipment, inventory, or accounts receivable as collateral, there will be a UCC filing. Search by debtor name. Also useful for finding business interests your spouse has not disclosed — secured lenders file even when the debtor does not.
