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. • SUPPORT - CONSOLIDATION OF TEMPORARY CHILD SUPPORT INTO A SUBSEQUENTLY FILED PATERNITY ACTION ________________________________________________________________ _ WHEREAS, there are instances that temporary child support is ordered prior to the filing of a paternity action. • That where there is first a temporary child support order and a subsequently filed paternity action, the temporary child support order shall automatically be consolidated with the paternity action and arrearages or credits from the prior child support order will be transferred to the paternity action.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: fbbd406518e9c8c23bea901299eaed1557af17a0d71f1afbb9817e2d055ee9b6 (66341 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.
