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.

Please see When We Return to Normal for more information and suggestions.
