INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLORIDA SUPREME COURT APPROVED FAMILY
LAW FORM 12.948(b)
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY ORDER GRANTING CUSTODIAL
RESPONSIBILITY DURING DEPLOYMENT
(07/20)
When should this form be used?
This form should be used when one parent who is a servicemember is being deployed and either
parent wishes to temporarily establish or change the custodial responsibility, parenting plan, or
time-sharing schedule. This form cannot be used unless paternity has been established, whether
or not parental responsibility, a parenting plan, and/or a time-sharing schedule have been
established. This form should not be used if the action is prohibited by the Service Members Civil
Relief Act, 50 U.S.C. ss. 3901-4043. The Motion should be filed after a parent receives a Notice of
Deployment.
A servicemember is a member of the uniformed services and includes:
• Active and reserve components of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or the Coast
Guard of the United States
• The United States Merchant Marine
• The commissioned corps of the United States Public Health Service
• The commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
• The National Guard of a state or territory of the United States, Puerto Rico, or the District
of Columbia
Deployment means the movement or mobilization of a servicemember for less than 18 months
pursuant to uniformed service orders that:
• Are designated as unaccompanied;
• Do not authorize dependent travel; or
• Otherwise do not permit the movement of family members to the location to which the
service member is deployed.
Custodial responsibility includes all the powers and duties relating to caretaking authority and
decisionmaking authority for a child. It includes physical custody, legal custody, parental
responsibility, parenting time, right to access, time-sharing, visitation, and authority to grant
limited contact with a child.
Caretaking authority means the right to live with and care for a child on a day-to-day basis. The
term includes physical custody, parenting time, right to access, time-sharing, and visitation.
Decisionmaking authority means the power to make important decisions regarding a child,
including decisions regarding a child’s education, religious training, health care, extracurricular
activities, and travel. The term does not include the power to make decisions that necessarily
Instructions for Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.948(b), Motion for Temporary Order
Granting Custodial Responsibility During Deployment (07/20)
accompany a grant of caretaking authority.
Limited contact means the authority of a Nonparent to visit a child for a limited time. The term
includes authority to take the child to a place other than the child’s residence.
A Nonparent who is an adult family member of the child or a non-family member with whom the
child has a close and substantial relationship may be granted temporary caretaking authority. A
close and substantial relationship means a positive relationship of substantial duration and depth
in which a significant emotional bond exists between a child and a Nonparent.
What should I do next?
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 or in the case of an active duty member, before an
officer authorized to administer oaths.
You should file the original with the clerk of the circuit court and keep a copy for your records.
The Motion must be filed in a pending proceeding for custodial responsibility or an existing case
if you have one. If there is not a pending proceeding, the motion must be filed in a new action.
The court must have jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement
Act.
If you have filed all of the required papers, you may contact the clerk of court, family law intake
staff or the judicial assistant to set a hearing. You must notify the other party(ies) of the hearing
by using a Notice of Hearing (General), Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.923,

request an expedited hearing. The court will then enter an order after the hearing.
