Supreme Court of Florida

In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.530 and Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.530

April 27, 2023373 So. 3d 1115

Summary

The court further amended Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.530 and Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.530 after considering comments on amendments previously adopted without prior publication. The amendments replace the reference to insufficient findings in a final judgment with the broader requirement that a party challenge the trial court's failure to make required findings of fact. The amended rules apply to all orders, but only when specific factual findings are required, and became effective immediately.
