Amended order (superseding AO 2015-02): all parenting coordinators are appointed from the Trial Court Administrator's roster; applications with criminal background investigation go to the TCA; the Domestic Relations administrative judge reviews qualifications under §61.125 and AOSC14-64 and reviews the roster annually.
• AMENDED ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER 2017-17 (Supersedes Administrative Order 2015-02) RE: PARENTING COORDINATORS • 1. Except as otherwise provided in section 61.125, Florida Statutes, all parenting coordinators appointed within the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit shall be selected from a roster maintained by the Trial Court Administrator. • 2. Persons who wish to be placed on the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit's roster of qualified parenting coordinators must complete the application attached hereto as Attachment "A" and submit it to the Trial Court Administrator along with copies of all required documents. A criminal background investigation and any necessary inquiries shall be conducted to verify an applicant's eligibility to be included on the roster. • 3. The sitting Administrative Judge of the Domestic Relations Division shall act as the Chief Judge's designee to review each application and to determine whether an individual applying to serve as a parenting coordinator meets the qualifications under AOSC14-64 and section 61.125, Florida Statutes, to be included on the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit's roster of qualified parenting coordinators. • 4. If an applicant meets all the requirements, he or she will be approved, notified of the approval, and placed on the roster for appointment. If the applicant is not approved, he or she will be notified in writing and the reason for non-approval will be provided. • 5. The roster of qualified parenting coordinators will be reviewed by the Administrative Judge of the Domestic Relations Division at least once each calendar year to determine whether each parenting coordinator continues to be qualified. If it is determined at any time that a parenting coordinator no longer meets the legal qualifications, the Administrative Judge of the Domestic Relations Division shall remove a parenting coordinator immediately from the roster, and the parenting coordinator shall be notified of such removal. • This Amended Administrative Order shall take effect on November 8, 2017. Administrative Order 2015-02, Parenting Coordination in Family Law Cases, is hereby superseded by Administrative Order 2017-17.
