Chambers & practice notes

Child Support Hearing Officer serving Citrus AND Sumter counties. Assistant: Alba Reyes, 352-569-6986, fax 352-569-6894. Site spelling variant: Sylivia Simmons.

Verified 2026-08-03: the 5th's own county judiciary pages render name-only rosters, and a search of the site's WordPress media library found no portrait record titled with this judge's name. No published portrait found — recorded, not guessed.

Verified 2026-08-03: the 5th's own county judiciary pages render name-only rosters with no biography prose. A court fact, not a harvest gap.

Captured verbatim from the court's own published pages and orders during circuit verification. Chambers practices change without notice — confirm anything time-critical with the judicial assistant. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
