The 18th Judicial Circuit, which includes Seminole County, has issued a significant and comprehensive Administrative Order 20-18 regarding time-sharing with children during the COVID-19 crisis.
Some provisions include:
- How exchanges should occur;
- What time-sharing schedules should be followed;
- Video conferencing procedures;
- Notice that enforcement hearings will not be heard by the court until the Executive Order ends;
- Notice that some behaviors may be severely sanctioned by the court;
- Required notification to the other parent if a parent or other household member tests positive for COVID-19;
