The Florida Supreme Court, effective January 27, 2005, approved Amendments to the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure, 2005 Fla. LEXIS 92 [Fla. 2005] including Dependency Mediation, Rule 8.290 [pages 59-63]. The Dependency Mediation amendment now requires dependency mediation to comply with statutory timelines and deletes language in the prior rule which permitted a waiver of time requirements by all parties with court approval. - no wiggle room!
