Disclosure from Nonlawyer

Required by Florida. Please read before continuing.

Florida law requires that we provide you this disclosure before we assist with any forms. Please read it carefully. By continuing, you confirm that you understand each point below.

Who we are

Atrium Filing operator is a nonlawyer service. We are not attorneys. Our address is PLACEHOLDER — TBD before launch. You can reach us by email at support@atriumfiling.com.

We cannot give you legal advice

We cannot tell you what your rights are. We cannot tell you what forms or which package to choose. We cannot tell you how the court will rule. We cannot represent you in court or speak to the judge on your behalf. We cannot tell you what to say in your forms beyond what you tell us. If you need legal advice, you should consult a Florida-licensed family law attorney.

What we can do

We can type the information you give us into the official Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms you have selected. We can format the forms according to the court's requirements. We can show you the completed forms before they are delivered to you. We can answer questions about how to use the website and how to provide information. That is the limit of our role.

You made this choice

You selected this package yourself based on your own understanding of your situation. We did not recommend it to you. If your circumstances are not a fit for the package you selected, the forms we prepare may not be appropriate for your case.

You are responsible for your case

After we deliver the completed forms, you are responsible for: signing them (some require notarization), filing them with the clerk of court in the correct county, paying any filing fees the clerk charges, serving them on the other party as required, attending any required hearings, and responding to anything the other party files. We do not file forms with the court on your behalf, and we do not appear on your behalf.

Confidentiality

Anything you tell us is not protected by attorney-client privilege, because we are not your attorneys. We do, however, take reasonable steps to keep your information secure and to limit access to people working on your packet.

Refunds

You may cancel and request a full refund at any time before your completed packet is delivered to you, with no time limit and no questions asked — there's a Cancel link on your case status page. Once the completed packet has been emailed to you, we can't undo the work and your payment is non-refundable, but you can email us if something went wrong and we'll work with you in good faith.
