Please confirm that your motion has been filed, served on all parties, and docketed prior to requesting hearing time. No hearing time will be given for motions that are not filed and docketed. If you have questions about whether your motion is filed and docketed, please contact the Alachua County Clerk of Court. When a motion is e-filed the Judge does not always receive a copy. If you file a motion that the Judge needs to see or act upon, you must provide a copy to the Judicial Assistant, AllenA@circuit8.org. All proposed orders must be submitted through the E-Portal.

SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 13 of 16 published requirements (81%) still present on 1 source page (/courts-judges/judge-kristine-van-vorst/judge-van-vorst-division-procedures/).

Re-verify before relying on any single clause.
Most hearings set for 30 minutes or less are conducted by Zoom in CV-A; the setting order/notice prevails. Telephonic appearance is allowed if opposing counsel doesn't object — request it when scheduling.
In CV-B the parties agree whether attendance is Zoom or in person; hybrid is permitted, and the Notice of Hearing must state Hearing Room 701 with the division's published Zoom ID (275-150-7351).
In CV-C, appearing by Zoom is a privilege (log in five minutes early; Court hosts); presenting testimony remotely — any hearing or non-jury trial, any length — requires a written motion showing good cause under Rule 2.530(b)(2).
