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. • For dissolution of marriage actions, the petitioner must complete the course within 45 days after the filing of the petition, unless excused by the court. • All other parties must complete the course within 45 days after service of the petition. • For paternity actions, the petitioner must complete the course within 45 days after filing the petition, unless excused by the court. • Any other party must complete the course within 45 days after an acknowledgement of paternity by that party, an adjudication of paternity of that party, or an order granting visitation to or support from that party. • Each party to a dissolution or paternity action shall file proof of compliance with the court prior to the entry of the final judgment. • All parties are required to complete the parenting course as quickly as possible. • The parties are required to complete the parenting course by appearing in person. • A copy of the “Standing Order of Referral Requiring Parties to Attend the Parent and Education Stabilization Course” (ATTACHMENT 1) shall be provided at the time of filing to the Petitioner by the Clerk of the Court and a copy of said Order shall be served on the opposing party(s) by Petitioner. • Said Order of Referral shall be attached to the original pleadings by the Clerk of the Court. • IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that each provider offering a parenting course must be approved by the Department of Children and Family Services. • The Department of Children and Family Services shall provide the Clerk of Court with a list of approved course providers and sites at which the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course may be completed. • The list shall be made available to the parties so that they may attend the parenting class of their choice. • IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all parties to a modification of a final judgment involving shared parental responsibilities, custody, or visitation may be required to complete a court-approved parenting course prior to the entry of an order modifying the final judgment. • It is thereupon ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that each of the parties shall attend a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course. • Upon completion of the seminar, you must submit your Certificate of Completion to the Clerk of the Court, Brevard County Clerk of Court, P.O. • This parenting course, ordered by the court, shall apply regardless of whether the parties were legally married and in family cases involving family member visitation, etc.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: aeca2f99f98ba833e2879ed6f0bcb5baab092cfd57df1b0aa82a6ab5f28bca36 (36543 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.
