Can there be two open cases for divorce in two separate counties?

   Since there are two open  cases, then there can be.  However, it is improper.  Typically, the proper venue (assuming both parties live in Florida) to file the divorce case is the county where the parties last resided together as husband and wife.  If that is the county where you filed the action, then you should notify the clerk of the court in the county where your husband filed that there is, in fact, another action pending.  If you served him with papers and he does not answer, you can file to have him defaulted.   However, so you do not end up with inconsistent results, you should file a Motion to Dismiss the case in the other county and, in the alternative, a Motion to Transfer Venue, explaining the situation.   Best of luck, Cindy S.
