In Re: Amendments to the Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms – 12.975(a)-(c)

Summary

The court adopted amendments to the grandparent-visitation forms in response to statutory changes, including a new petition form for cases involving a parent criminally or civilly liable for the other parent's death and renumbering the existing order form. The court also designated all forms 12.975(a)-(c) as Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms, so future amendments will occur by court opinion rather than through the rulemaking process. The amendments include revised electronic-service instructions and take effect immediately.
