Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to the Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms - 12.913(A)(3)
June 21, 2018
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court adopted a new family-law form for constructive service in termination-of-parental-rights and stepparent-adoption proceedings and amended several existing family-law forms. The amendments clarify when forms should be used, confidentiality and electronic-service procedures, hearing-recording arrangements, address designations, and estimated trial length. The forms became effective immediately and were published for public comment, while the Court expressly declined to opine on their correctness or applicability.
