Administrative Orders in Your Orlando Area Divorce Case

Are you planning on filing for dissolution of marriage? Are you in the middle of a dissolution of marriage case? Are you planning on filing for Paternity and/or Custody of your Child? Do you currently have a Paternity and/or Custody case pending in court? Did you know that there is something called an Administrative Order? You ask, what is an Administrative Order? Did you know that the Administrative Order dictates the parties’ court ordered mandatory behavior in the case?

The Administrative Order is the order that was issued by the court in your circuit where you are obtaining a divorce or handling a Paternity and/or Custody matter. In the Administrative Order, the court explains the rules; specifically, the can dos and cannot dos during your dissolution of marriage case. The court in the Administrative Order tells the parties of the case what they can do and cannot do regarding the parties’ finances in respect to the parties’ assets, debts, bill paying, spending, and payment of insurance and other bills. The court in the Administrative Order also explains to the parties the appropriate behavior of parties’ regarding the parenting the child.

The Administrative Order is usually served on you along with the summons in a dissolution of marriage case; and a Paternity and/or Custody case. In the greater Orlando Area, there are Administrative Orders in the following courts:

Orange and Osceola Counties in the Ninth Judicial Circuit;

Seminole and Brevard Counties in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit; and 

Volusia County in the Seventh Judicial Circuit. 

You can go to Orange County- 9^th Judicial Circuit of Florida website; Osceola County-9^th Judicial Circuit of Florida website, Seminole County-18 Judicial Circuit of Florida website, 

Brevard County-18^th Judicial Circuit of Florida website, or Volusia County- 7^th Judicial Circuit of Florida websites and obtain the Administrative Order for a Dissolution of Marriage or Custody case. In the Administrative Order, the court instruct you on proper behavior during your case; and when you are in contested acrimonious litigation.

You should read the Administrative Order very carefully and abide by it. That is important because if you fail to abide by the Administrative Order, the other side may file a motion with the court to hold you in contempt for violating the Administrative Order.
