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 change their residence beyond a fifty (50) mile radius from their current residence, nor shall either party change a child’s customary school district or day care arrangement without the written agreement of both parties or an order of this court. 2. • To avoid the accumulation of retroactive arrearages, the parent who has the obligation (based on income and contact) should immediately begin making voluntary payments of child support even prior to the entry of an order requiring payment of child support. • Any payments made by one parent to the other parent during this retroactive period shall be considered by the court in determining any retroactive arrearage. • Pursuant to Section 61.21, Florida Statutes, both parties in a Dissolution of Marriage proceeding involving children, must complete the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course, and provide proof of the course’s completion, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of this order. • Completion of this course is required in both uncontested and contested cases and is a condition precedent to entry of final judgment. • While these guidelines are not specifically ordered by the court at this time, compliance or noncompliance with them shall be considered by the court in future child related matters. 4. • 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. 5. • Neither party shall sell, donate, pledge, conceal, damage, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any marital or non-marital property without the prior written consent of the other party or court order. • Both parties shall be held accountable for all money or property possessed during the marriage and after separation. 8. • 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, allowed to lapse, concealed, 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 a court order. • Both parties shall continue to pay premiums in a timely manner unless there is a written consent by both parties or a court order. 9. • This prohibition specifically includes, but is not limited to, the use of joint credit cards, which shall be used exclusively for the necessities of life and only as a means of last resort. • Any party using a joint credit card must be prepared to justify any charges as reasonable for necessities. -- 2 of 4 -- 3 11. • The Clerk of Court shall provide a copy of this order to the Petitioner or Petitioner’s counsel when the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage or Paternity Complaint is filed. • The Petitioner shall attach and serve a copy of this order to the process to be served on the Respondent along with the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. • This order shall become binding on the Petitioner upon the filing of this action and binding on the Respondent upon service of this order. • This order shall remain in full force and effect until the entry of a final judgment, a dismissal of this cause, or until the entry of a subsequent temporary order, whichever shall occur first. • Parents must separate any bad feelings for one another from their duties as parents. • Children must be free to draw their own conclusions about each parent, without the prejudicial influences of the other parent.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: fe09c52ce93c5eacda56f013d2c6a6c368df15deb82ff680d5c85486198703cc (142038 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.
