Tom wants to divorce Liz, his wife of six years but Liz wants to stay married. The couple lives in Florida and they have two daughters, ages 5 and 3. While on a business trip to Las Vegas, Tom hops over to Reno and obtains a quick divorce without difficulty, pursuant to Nevada law. He returns home and hands the divorce decree to Liz.<\/p>\n

Liz comes to you for advice about what she should, or can, do.<\/p>\n

Please read:

Popper v. Popper<\/u>, 595 So. 2d 100 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992); and <\/p>\n

Lopes v. Lopes<\/u>, 852 So. 2d 402 (Fla. 5^{th<\/sup> DCA 2003). <\/p>\n}

Based upon the holdings in these two cases, will Florida recognize Tom\u2019s divorce as valid.<\/p>\n
