Fla. R. Juv. P. 8.690
Disposition Hearings
(a) Information Available to Court. At the disposition
hearing the court, after establishing compliance with the
dispositional considerations, determinations, and discussions
required by law, may receive any relevant and material evidence
helpful in determining the proper disposition to be made. It shall
include written reports required by law and may include
evaluations of the child or the parent or custodian that may be
obtained and that are relevant and material. Such evidence may be
received by the court and may be relied upon to the extent of its
probative value even though not competent in an adjudicatory
hearing.
(b) Disclosure to Parties. All parties shall be entitled to
disclosure of all information in all reports submitted to the court.
(c) Orders of Disposition. The court shall in its written
order of disposition include:
(1) the placement or custody of the child;
(2) special conditions of placement and visitation;
(3) evaluation, counseling, treatment activities, and
other actions to be taken by the parties where ordered;
(4) supervising or monitoring agencies and
continuation or discharge of the guardian ad litem, when
appropriate;
(5) the period of time or date for subsequent case
review when required by law; and
(6) such other requirements deemed necessary to
protect the health, safety, and well-being of the child.
(d) Out-of-Home Placement. If the court places the child in
out-of-home placement, subsequent proceedings shall be governed
by part IIID of these rules.
