In Re: Amendments to Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure

Summary

The court adopted a stand-alone set of Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure and related forms, with several modifications. It rejected a proposed representative-capacity verification provision, retained the existing statutory safeguards concerning guardian ad litem appointments, modified the interrogatory records-production provision to preserve existing requirements, and declined proposed changes to temporary-injunction standards. The amendments became effective immediately upon release of the opinion.
