Tips for Florida Forms

• The Parenting Plan (Form 12.995) must be very detailed — vague plans get sent back
• Both parents must file their parenting class certificates with the court before the final hearing
• Always check flcourts.org for the most current version of each form
• Some counties have local supplemental forms — check your county clerk's website

FAQ

Are Florida forms the same in every county? The Supreme Court-approved forms are statewide. Some counties have supplemental local forms — check your county clerk's website.

Do Florida forms need to be notarized? The Financial Affidavits (12.902(b) and (c)) must be signed under oath before a notary or court clerk. Most other forms require only a signature under penalty of perjury.
