`
`STATUS QUO TEMPORARY DOMESTIC RELATIONS
`ORDER, 1WITH OR WITHOUT MINOR CHILDREN
`
`The l‘oliowing Status lQue Temporary Domestic Relations Order, With or
`Without Minor Children (hereinafter “Order"’) shall apply to both parties in an original
`dissolution of marriage or paternity action. This Order shall be in effect with regard to the
`petitioner upon filing of the petition; and with regard to the respondent, upon service of
`the summons and petition or upon waiver and acceptance of service. The Order shall
`remain in effect during the pendency of the action unless modified, terminated. or
`amended by further order of presidingjudgc in the action.
`
`[I is in the best interests of the parties in a dissolution of marriage or paternity
`action to learn about the problems, duties and responsibilities that may arise during their
`dissoiution or paternity proceeding.
`It is also important for the parties to preserve their
`assets, act in the best interests of their children and comply with Court rules and orders.
`Therciiorc, the parties are hereby advised:
`
`1. NO RELOCATION OF CHILDREN: Unless there is a prior court order,
`domestic violence injunction {permanent or temporary) or agreement signed by both
`parties, to the contrary, neither parry will permanently remove, cause to be removed, nor
`permit the removal of any minor children of the parties from their current county of
`residence. The intent of this restriction is not to prohibit temporary travel within the State
`of Florida. Neither party shall apply for any passport nor passport services on behalf of
`the children, without an order of the court from the presiding judge.

`

`2. CHILD SUPPDRT: Unless there is a prior court order, domestic violence
`injunction {pennanent or temporary} or agreement signed by both parties, if the parties
`have minor children and choose to live apart while the action is pending, the parent with
`whom the children are not residing for a majority of the time should make voluntary
`payments of child support to the other parent, prior to the entry ofan order requiring
`payment of child support. IShild support should he in an amount as determined by the
`Uniform Child Support lGuidelines, Section 61.310, Florida Statutes. Since child support
`can be ordered retroactive to the date of filing the petition, it is advisable that the party
`making payment keep proofof the payments and bring them to court. Signed receipts
`should be obtained for any cash payments. Parenttchild access and child support are
`separate and distinct under the law. Accordingly, a child’s right to access to his or her
`parent is not contingent upon the payment of child support.
`3.
`SHARED PARENTING GUIDELINES: These guidelines apply unless
`there is a prior court order, domestic violence injunction (permanent or temporary} or
`agreement of the parties to the contrary. The safety, financial security, and mental well—
`bcing of the children involved in these cases are of paramount concern. It is mandatory
`that parents complete a parenting class and know, understand, and follow the court‘s
`guidelines for parents in dissolution cases with children. The parties are ordered to abide
`by the principles of shared parental responsibility, which means:
`
`3.l Both parents shall confer with each other so that major decisions affecting
`the welfare of the children shall be determined jointly. Such decisions include. but are
`not limited to, education, discipline, religion, medical, and general upbringing.
`
`3.2 Each parent shall exercise, in the utmost good faith, his and her best
`efforts at all times to encourage and foster the maximum relations, love, and affection
`between the minor children of the parties and the other parent. Neither parent shall
`impede, obstruct, or interfere with the exercise by the other parent of his or her right to
`companionship with the minor children.
`
`3.3 Each parent shall have access to records and information pertaining to the
`minor children, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, and school records.
`
`3.4 Neither parent shall make any disparaging remarks about the other parent
`or quiz the children as to the other parent's private life.
`It is the children's right to be
`spared from experiencing and witnessing any animosity or iliwfeeling, if any should
`occur, between the parents, and the minor children should be encouraged to maintain
`love, respect, and affection for both parents.
`
`3.5 The relationship between the parents shall be courteous and respectful as
`possible, relatively formal, low-key, and public.
`
`3.6 Each parent has a duty to communicate directly with the children
`concerning hisfher relationship with them to the extent warranted by their age and
`maturity. Neither parent can expect the other parent to continually act as a "buffer" or
`“go—between.“ For example, should either parent be unable to exercise time-sharing, that
`parent should explain this directly to the child.

`discuss a decision to remove a child from public school in order to enroll the child in
`private school.
`
`3.1fl Neither parent shall conceal the whereabouts of the children, and each
`parent will keep the other advised at all
