For equitable distribution, provide the Court a written numbered list of every disputed asset and liability with proposed values no later than 2 business days before the hearing. File the pre-trial stipulation no later than 2 business days prior (courtesy copy by e-mail), naming the witnesses to be called, the agreed issues, and stipulated facts. For in-person events over one hour, give opposing counsel written opportunity to review exhibits two days ahead, labeled per the division format.

Limit memoranda to ten (10) pages absent good cause. Cite only your best three cases per issue — no string citations. Courtesy copies are due three (3) days before any hearing or trial; UMC allows a maximum of two motions per case, ten minutes total.

PREEMPTED: Under AOSC26-12 (Fla. May 28, 2026, eff. June 15, 2026), courts may not impose AI-disclosure or certification requirements "through local administrative orders, court policies, judicial practices and procedures, or other means" — amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) is the single statewide standard (every signer certifies cited authorities exist and are accurately cited; sanctions after notice). The Division FI page still displayed this requirement when live-verified on July 5, 2026; treat the statewide rule, not this divisional instruction, as the governing obligation. Original division requirement as verified: If any generative artificial intelligence tool was used in preparing a filing, disclose that use on the face of the filing. Applies to attorneys and self-represented litigants alike.

Submit proposed orders no earlier than 48 hours before and no later than 48 hours after the hearing. In the OLS notes/comments section, indicate the order type using the division's exact required language. Certificates of service must list each party served and how — "all counsel" or "per e-portal" boilerplate is not accepted.
