INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLORIDA SUPREME COURT APPROVED FAMILY LAW
FORM 12.902(d), UNIFORM CHILD CUSTODY JURISDICTION AND
ENFORCEMENT ACT (UCCJEA) AFFIDAVIT (12/10)
When should this form be used?
This form should be used in any case involving custody of, visitation with, or time-sharing with any minor
child(ren). This affidavit is required even if the custody of, visitation, or time-sharing with the minor
child(ren) are not in dispute.
This form should be typed or printed in black ink. After completing this form, you should sign the form
before a notary public or deputy clerk. You should then file the original with the clerk of the circuit
court in the county where the petition was filed and keep a copy for your records.
What should I do next?
A copy of this form must be mailed or hand delivered to the other party in your case, if it is not served
on him or her with your initial papers.
Where can I look for more information?
Before proceeding, you should read General Information for Self-Represented Litigants found at the
beginning of these forms. The words that are in bold underline in these instructions are defined there.
For further information, see sections 61.501-61.542, Florida Statutes.
Special notes...
Chapter 2008-61, Laws of Florida, effective October 1, 2008, eliminated such terms as custodial parent,
noncustodial parent, primary residential parent, secondary residential parent, and visitation from
Chapter 61, Florida Statutes. Instead, parents are to develop a Parenting Plan that includes, among
other things, their time-sharing schedule with the minor child(ren). If the parents cannot agree, a
parenting plan will be established by the Court. However, because the UCCJEA uses the terms custody
and visitation, they are included in this form.
If you are the petitioner in an injunction for protection against domestic violence case and you have filed
a Request for Confidential Filing of Address, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form
12.980(h), you should write confidential in any space on this form that would require you to write the
address where you are currently living.
