How can a spouse file an answer for divorce when she is out of state?

by Bob on March 10, 2010

If I file a petition for divorce in Florida (18th district, Seminole County) and my wife says she will not contest it, how can she file her "answer and waiver" if she lives out of state? Can she mail it to me for filing? Or is there an address she should send it to herself?
