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. • Any judge in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida who receives a case or motion involving the Hague Convention, the International Child Abduction Remedies Act, or any case relating to sections 61.524 and 61.525 of the Florida Statutes shall notify the Family Administrative Judge immediately. -- 1 of 2 -- 2 3. • After review of the case, filings, and motions, the Family Law Division Administrative Judge shall refer the matter to Judge Serrano who will further handle and hear all matters filed that pertain to the Hague Convention. 4. • In the event that Judge Serrano is not available to handle a specific Hague Convention matter within the time constraints presented, the Family Law Division Administrative Judge, or his or her designee, shall rule on the matter until such time as Judge Serrano is able to address any other matter relating to sections 61.524 and 61.525, Florida Statues. 5.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: e8b62856b8b38284872266b265e937b52819546da474eaa6fe7673632a77e9e3 (121228 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. | Scope corrected 2026-08-03: the 18th numbers county-specific orders with -b (Brevard) and -s (Seminole); unsuffixed orders are circuit-wide. This rule was bulk-tagged to one county at harvest; the court's own numbering convention now controls.
