Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to the Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms - Form 12.961
September 27, 2018253 So. 3d 988
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court ordered amendments to the approved Family Law Form 12.961, changing mandatory language and permitting service of the notice by mail. The Court based the changes on its procedural authority and input from the advisory workgroup, and the amended form takes effect immediately. The order also provides instructions on e‑filing and electronic service, though those are not essential to the amendment itself.
