Rule 12.030 Verification of Pleadings

When you file paperwork in a Florida family law case, some documents may need to be verified. Verification means you sign the document and confirm that what you wrote is true.

The specific rules about when and how to verify your paperwork come from a separate set of rules called the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration, or from state law. This rule simply points you to those other sources rather than spelling out the details itself.

If you are filing family court documents on your own, check those other rules or ask the court clerk whether your specific paperwork needs to be verified before you submit it.
