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. • Neither party shall remove, cause to be removed, or permit the removal of any minor child(ren) of the parties from the State of Florida without the written agreement of both parties or an order from the court. 2. • To avoid the accumulation of retroactive arrearages, the court encourages the non-residential parent to immediately begin making voluntary payments of child support even prior to the entry of an order requiring payment of support. • Neither party shall disparage the other party to or in the presence of the minor child(ren), nor permit any third person to do so. -- 1 of 3 -- 2 4. • Any insurance policies, including but not limited to health, auto, life, homeowners, disability, etc., in effect at the time of the filing of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage shall not be cancelled, modified, borrowed against, pledged or otherwise encumbered by either of the parties, or at the direction of either party, unless there is written consent by both parties or an order of the court. 7. • Neither party shall sell, donate, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any marital or non- marital property without the prior written consent of the other party or court order other than cash, checking accounts or other sources of funds customarily used to pay ongoing living expenses of the parties or marital debt or other recurring marital obligations of the parties, limited to the amounts actually required to pay those recurring obligations. 8. • The parties to a dissolution of marriage action are required to read certain administrative orders located at the 18 th Judicial Circuit website: www.flcourts18.org. • This order shall remain in full force and effect until the entry of a final judgment, a dismissal of the cause, or until the entry of a subsequent temporary order, whichever shall occur first.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: eb258e64f91b63d223a586fff7e1177b5757a45e8e092b67c7f6e93c77bd3b38 (14137 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.
Judge Shull requires ALL motions set for special-set hearing to go to mediation before the hearing is held.
Judge Burkhart will not schedule a temporary-relief hearing until mediation has been held ON the temporary relief sought — mediation first, hearing second.
Judge Sharrit refers ALL cases to mediation (exceptions only by leave) and openly encourages Special Magistrates under Rule 1.490(b) to beat the hearing-time bottleneck.
