FL Supreme CourtOctober 19, 2023Rules Amended (effective immediately)📋 Rule Change

In re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.530 and Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.530

Case No. SC2022-0756

After receiving comments on its 2022 amendments requiring a motion for rehearing to preserve challenges to trial court findings, the Florida Supreme Court further revised Rules 1.530(a) and 12.530(a). The phrase 'sufficiency of a trial court's findings in the final judgment' was replaced with 'failure of the trial court to make required findings of fact in the final judgment,' narrowing the mandatory-rehearing preservation requirement to cases where a judge is required by law to make specific factual findings.
