How Florida procedural deadlines are computed: exclude the trigger day; count every day for periods of 7 days or more; for periods under 7 days, skip intermediate weekends and legal holidays; roll forward when the last day is a weekend or holiday.

• Exclude the day of the triggering event.
• Periods of 7+ days: count every day, including weekends and holidays.
• Periods under 7 days: skip intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays.
• If the last day is a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline rolls to the next business day.
• Add 5 days when the party may act after service by mail.

Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.202

• Make the conferral a genuine attempt to resolve — document date, time, method, and outcome.
• Include a certificate of conferral in the motion (or describe the specific attempts if the other side did not respond).
• Check the division's instructions for additional local conferral requirements.

Fla. Fam. L. R. P. 12.610; § 741.30, Fla. Stat.

• File the petition on the approved form — no filing fee.
• A temporary injunction may issue ex parte on the verified petition.
• Calendar the final hearing — generally within 15 days when a temporary injunction issues.

Florida Courts E-Filing Portal; Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.525

• Attorneys: e-file every document through the Portal.
• Check the destination circuit's e-filing instructions for format quirks before filing.

Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.516

Service of pleadings and documents after the initial pleading is made by e-mail — in practice through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal's e-service feature — to the designated service addresses on file.

An appeal of a final order must be commenced by filing a notice of appeal within 30 days of rendition of the order. This deadline is jurisdictional — missing it generally ends the appeal.
