Summary

The bill would mandate that each Florida judicial circuit have at least one judge available on weekends, holidays and after‑hours to hear emergency family‑law motions, especially for domestic‑violence injunctions and time‑sharing enforcement. It also sets strict timelines for hearings on temporary parenting plans and enforcement of existing time‑sharing orders, and changes how courts handle paternity judgments and parenting‑plan defaults. The measure failed in committee and never became law.
