The pleading or affidavit must state whether the party:

(b) Knows of any proceeding that could affect the current proceeding, including proceedings for enforcement and proceedings relating to domestic violence, protective orders, termination of parental rights, and adoptions and, if so, identify the court, the case number, and the nature of the proceeding; and
(c) Knows the names and addresses of any person not a party to the proceeding who has physical custody of the child or claims rights of legal custody or physical custody of, or visitation with, the child and, if so, the names and addresses of those persons.
(2) If the information required by subsection (1) is not furnished, the court, upon motion of a party or its own motion, may stay the proceeding until the information is furnished.
(3) If the declaration as to any of the items described in paragraphs (1)(a)-(c) is in the affirmative, the declarant shall give additional information under oath as required by the court. The court may examine the parties under oath as to details of the information furnished and other matters pertinent to the court’s jurisdiction and the disposition of the case.
(4) Each party has a continuing duty to inform the court of any proceeding in this or any other state which could affect the current proceeding.

  2. Slowinski v. Sweeney

    117 So. 3d 73 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2013)   Cited 3 times
    The maternal grandmother responded to Mr. Sweeney's Pennsylvania proceedings by attempting to enforce the Florida court's order in that forum. She objected to the Pennsylvania court's exercise of jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (“UCCJEA”) due to the existence of her earlier-filed Florida custody case and the Florida order in force. The Pennsylvania trial court agreed that it was required to refrain from considering the action and denied Mr. Sweeney's petition. However, a Pennsylvania appellate court reversed this denial and directed the trial court to communicate with the Florida trial court, pursuant to the UCCJEA. The record of this appeal does not contain evidence of or reference to any such communication between the state courts. See§§ 61.519, 61.522, Fla. Stat.

  5. Mannino v. Mannino

    980 So. 2d 575 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2008)   Cited 7 times
    Sgt. Mannino filed for dissolution of marriage in Florida in August 2004. In the UCCJEA affidavit filed in conjunction with the petition, required by section 61.522, he claimed Florida as the children's "home state." In January 2005 in Japan, the couple executed with all formal requisites a kyogi rikon, the Japanese equivalent of an uncontested divorce. Under the terms of this Japanese divorce, Mrs. Mannino allegedly gave up her sons to Sgt. Mannino's custody and care and without any obligation on her part for their support. After execution of the kyogi rikon, and in the then still ongoing Florida dissolution proceedings, the parties entered into a marital settlement agreement in which Mrs. Mannino agreed that Sgt. Mannino would have sole parental responsibility of the boys and their primary residential custody, and Mrs. Mannino would have specified visitation. In June 2005, the circuit court entered a final judgment of dissolution, incorporating the marital settlement agreement and all its terms. The court also ordered that Mrs. Mannino pay specified child support. No appeal was taken from this final judgment of dissolution.
