6 verbatim requirements from Eleventh Circuit administrative order 24-05.
Eleventh Judicial Circuit (Miami-Dade). Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Verbatim from the operative section of Eleventh Circuit administrative order 24-05, harvested 2026-08-02; whitespace normalised only. • Because the Collaborative Law Process requires each party to be represented by an attorney as set forth in section 61.56(4), Florida Page 2 of 4 Statutes, the Notice of Collaborative Law Participation Agreement shall be a joint notice, in substantial conformity with Florida Family Law Rules Form 12.985(c), and shall be signed by both individual Collaborative attorneys. The Notice of Collaborative Law Participation Agreement shall operate both as an application for stay of the proceeding and as a notice of appearance if either attorney has not previously filed a notice of appearance in the pending action. • Upon the filing of a Notice of Collaborative Law Participation Agreement as described above, a court shall promptly either: (a) enter a stay of the proceedings ex parte, or (b) notify counsel for both parties that the application for stay must be scheduled for a non-evidentiary hearing. A stay entered pursuant to Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure, Rule 12.745(b)(2)(D) may include a requirement for a status report. • Notwithstanding the stay of a proceeding in which a Notice of Collaborative Law Participation Agreement was filed, the court may enter orders on written interim agreements reached by the parties in the Collaborative Law Process. • In a family law matter in which a Notice of Collaborative Law Participation Agreement has been filed, the affidavit of a licensed mental health professional averring that he or she has acted as a facilitator, coach, child specialist or other similar capacity in the Collaborative Law Process and has spent at least 4 hours educating, training, and assisting each parent to understand the consequences of divorce on parents and children, such assistance of the licensed mental health professional may be considered the "good cause" referenced in section 61.21 (4)(b), Florida Statutes, for excusing the parties from the parenting course requirements of section 61.21, Florida Statutes. Page 4 of 4 • In the event that the parties to a Collaborative Law Process file a joint notice of their desire to maintain the privacy of an agreement and/or appropriate attachments thereto (such as an Equitable Distribution Schedule, a Parenting Plan, etc.) and both parties execute an acknowledgement of their separate obligations to maintain a copy of the agreement and/or appropriate attachment(s) thereto, the documents which the parties have acknowledged an obligation to maintain shall be reviewed by the court if required, and if incorporated in a court order, may be incorporated only by reference, without requiring the attachment or filing of the document(s). • Fees and expenses: Counsel and other retained professionals are entitled to be paid for their services. The parties agree to pay them as part of their contract. If appropriate, one party may be asked to pay all or a disproportionate share of the fees when the assets, liabilities and income of the parties are compared. The determination of fees is also subject to the Collaborative Law Process.
Because the Collaborative Law Process requires each party to be represented by an attorney as set forth in section 61.56(4), Florida Page 2 of 4 Statutes, the Notice of Collaborative Law Participation Agreement shall be a joint notice, in substantial conformity with Florida Family Law Rules Form 12.985(c), and shall be signed by both individual Collaborative attorneys. The Notice of Collaborative Law Participation Agreement shall operate both as an application for stay of the proceeding and as a notice of appearance if either attorney has not previously filed a notice of appearance in the pending action.
