Florida H0971 amends family law to prioritize hearings related to time-sharing and parenting plans. The bill requires courts to hold hearings within five business days after a motion is filed. If the assigned judge cannot conduct the hearing within this timeframe, another available judge must hold it, even on weekends, holidays, or after hours. The bill also mandates that at least one judge in each circuit be available at all times for such hearings.
