Corona Virus UPDATE 05.29.20

The Division of Administrative Hearings Administrative Order 20-05 extended the effects of prior orders through May 31, 2020 (all are on the website, https://www.fljcc.org/jcc/www.fljcc.org). No further Administrative Order has been issued at this time. Therefore, it is expected that the suspension of the requirements of Rule 60Q6.123: sworn statements regarding child support obligations for settlements and the MANDATE of telephonic mediation will end Sunday. Therefore, whether a mediation is telephonic or otherwise will be up to the individual assigned mediator as of MONDAY, June 1, 2020. Hearings remain in the discretion of the assigned judge. Please see When We Return to Normal for more information and suggestions.
