5 verbatim mandatory provisions from ECAD 1990-01 ADOPTION FILES.
First Judicial Circuit. Check the order's own effective and rescission dates before relying on it. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • (1) All adoption records shall be maintained by the Clerk of the Court in a non-public filing system. • No person shall disclose the name and identity of a natural parent, an adoptive parent or an adoptee without compliance with Florida Statute 63.162. • (2) Pursuant to Florida Statute 63.162(c), the court files, records and papers in the adoption of a minor shall be indexed only in the name of the petitioner in a non-public index. • Disclosure of this information shall be pursuant to Florida Statute 63.162(d). • (3) Nothing contained herein shall prevent inspection of the pending adoption file by counsel representing the parties.
(1) All adoption records shall be maintained by the Clerk of the Court in a non-public filing system.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: 9c676b6938ecac7a7a443e505a9580cdcee152fac9d5a711841dcefbc43473c7 (46192 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
The Eighteenth Judicial Circuit (Seminole and Brevard) requires cover letters in PDF format and proposed orders in .docx format using DJMCA formatting codes, submitted through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal.
Florida attorneys must file court documents electronically through the statewide Florida Courts E-Filing Portal (myflcourtaccess.com). Self-represented litigants may e-file through the same portal. Local circuits layer their own formatting and routing quirks on top.
Effective June 15, 2026, every signer of a Florida court filing — attorney or self-represented — represents that "the legal authorities identified exist and are accurately cited," with express sanctions (reprimand, contempt, striking, dismissal, costs, fees) for violations. Companion order AOSC26-12 preempts ALL circuit- and judge-level AI disclosure/certification requirements.
