If your CSEHO recuses, the case does not go back into random assignment — it moves automatically to the next numbered division, and Division 6 wraps around to Division 1.
Applies to Title IV-D child support enforcement proceedings in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit (Hillsborough County). Effective June 1, 2026.
Under AO S-2026-025, a hearing officer who disqualifies herself or himself serves a Notice of Recusal on all parties, files it with the clerk, and brings it to the attention of the family law judge assigned to the division where the case is pending. The case is then automatically reassigned and must be rescheduled with the next division in sequence: Division 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and 6 back to Division 1. Assignment to a specific CSEHO Division does not preclude another hearing officer from disposing of a case; hearing officers may assist each other when the assigned officer is unavailable or requests assistance.
If the hearing officer assigned to CSEHO Division 1 serves a Notice of Recusal, the case is automatically reassigned to and must be rescheduled with CSEHO Division 2. … If the hearing officer assigned to CSEHO Division 6 serves a Notice of Recusal, the case is automatically reassigned to and must be rescheduled with CSEHO Division 1.

Several division procedure pages still cite the vacated order.
