How long does a "temporary order for no contact" stay in effect in Florida if filed with the courts in 2011 but never ruled on?

Any temporary orders in a dissolution of marriage case are superseded by the Final Judgment. If the Final Judgment does not contain the "no contact" provisions, then the temporary is no longer in effect. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area about what steps could be taken at this point to protect your children from their paternal grandfather.

This is complicated and you need to go speak with an attorney about it. The PG was not a party in the divorce. Was the order in a separate case? If not, the FJ controls and it does not mention it, so it was subsumed in the fj.

Temporary orders are just that, temporary. The Final Judgment or Consent Final Judgment is the final order now in place. Any ruling that you wanted to extend to the final order should have been included in the language of the final order. If you have an issue with the children being around the Paternal grandfather, and the father is not supervising the contact, then you should speak to him about it. If he agrees with you then you can agree to Amend the order to include the supervision of the PG. However, if he no longer believes there is an issue then there is likely to be an issue of trying to get the language back into the final judgment at this time. Especially since we are talking several years later. You should probably invest in a consultation with a family attorney. Then you can lay out the problem that occurred and what has gone on since that time. The attorney will be able to look at the pleadings and the final judgment and determine the best course of action. Good Luck.
