Unrepresented (pro se) litigants are held to the same standard as reasonably compentent attorneys.http://www.3dca.flcourts.org/Opinions/3D12-2871.pdf. This means that if you are unrepresented, do not expect to catch a break from the court if you fail to know the rules, forget to file someting in a timely manner, etc. This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to hire an attorney. The services a family law attorney provides are worth the cost necessary. Failing to hire an attorney could negatively impact a custody or child support decision that will affect you the rest of your life…and your childrens’ lives. Be smart!
