How Long Does The Eviction Process Take In Florida?

My son has been on workmans comp for three months. He will be released next week. He has fallen behind on this month's rent. A three day notice was on his door to move or pay up. How long does the process take and does he have at least 10 days to get the money? Please help. His wife is expecting their 1st child 7/5..I am not in a position to help this time.

    The landlord would have to go to the courthouse and pay around $125.00 to have eviction papers (legally) served on your son in the state of Florida.
    Once the papers are served by the local Sherriffs department, your son would have a total of 3 days to vacate the premisses.
    After that, the Sherriffs Dept. Would arrive at the door and have them to move their belongings out at that time.
    He may be able to seek free legal help in order to get an extension, through the Legal Aid Sociaty in his County.
    Also, probably would qualify for extra financial help through The Department of Children and Families until he is back on his feet. The DCF will do  retroactive help for 90 days back pay, on prior loss of wages, from the time he first applies.
    I said a prayer for your son and his family.
    Hope this helps.
