SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 14 of 16 published requirements (88%) still present on 2 source pages (/departments-services/division-procedures-and-proposed-orders/baker-bradford-and-union-foreclosures/, /general-magistrates-hearing-officers/gm-bridget-baker-division-procedures/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence LOWERED to medium until a human re-reads the source. Re-verify before relying on any single clause.

Remote / Zoom HearingsHillsborough County · Family Division E · Judge Michael J. Hooi

No Hybrid Hearings — but Mutual In-Person Is Always Available — Family E

Judge Hooi does not usually allow hybrid hearings (one side in person, one virtual); if both sides prefer, everyone may appear in person instead; emergencies route through the clerk to a judge-entered handling order.
