Verified Petition to Amend Death Certificate

[Quirindong]

Jurisdiction

Florida

• 
  My husband and I were separated and I found out he died on Sept. 30 of this year. He lived in Florida and I live in NYC . I went to vital records to request death certificates with a cause, as I needed them to provide to my employer (I work for Fed. Govt.) When I received the certificates a letter was attached stating that I could not get a cert. with cause because I was divorce. The death certificate was intentionally falsified by his daughter to show his father as divorced rather than married. I called FL. office and In Florida a court order is required to change this particular item. I have never sign or received divorce papers so I don't think I am divorce. Do I have to get a lawyer in Fl to change the death certificate. Thank you for your help.

You might be divorced, even though you didn't receive notice of the filing.

You can be divorced without agreeing to the divorce, or signing any paperwork.

The only signature that matters is the judge's under the court's seal.

You can check to see IF you are legally divorced, before you jump to conclusions, right here:
