Notice for Trial
by: FALDP Staff

Hi Robert,

Miami-Dade tends to have a lot of local forms and rules, so my answer is going to be apply generally to Florida. Check with the Pro Se Help Desk at the courthouse.

For family court - the Florida Supreme Court approved form for Notice of Hearing is form number 12.923 and you can find it on their site - www.flcourts.org.

An article written by Mike Trentalange on the Florida Bar's site, March, 2010 Volume 84, No. 3. states:

Rule 1.440
"The rule is clear. A case may be set for trial when it is “at issue.” That term is defined by Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.440(a), which provides in part: “(a) When at issue. An action is at issue after any motions directed to the last pleading served have been disposed of or, if no such motions are served, 20 days after service of the last pleading....”


Once a case is at issue, as defined by Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.440(a), either party may file a notice for trial. Rule 1.440(b) provides in part: “b) Notice for trial. Thereafter any party may file and serve a notice that the action is at issue and ready to be set for trial....”'
