3 verbatim mandatory provisions from 96-18-s.
Eighteenth 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. • NOW THEREFORE, any domestic violence allegation or repeat violence allegation after the injunction has been issued, denied or dismissed shall be determined to be an original filing and not be considered a supplemental filing. • AND THEREFORE, there shall not be counter-petitions in a domestic violence or repeat violence injunction file, but a separate petition for domestic violence or repeat violence filed. • All files involving the same parties, whether denominated initial petition for domestic violence injunction, supplemental petition for domestic violence injunction, regardless of the party who is the petitioner shall be presented to the court when any matter is brought before it.
NOW THEREFORE, any domestic violence allegation or repeat violence allegation after the injunction has been issued, denied or dismissed shall be determined to be an original filing and not be considered a supplemental filing.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: ffa0f2bfed95be67db3643ef297dcd600c2e81061155a12c715c8f26193dba70 (97912 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.
