County civil claims above small claims
The Orange County Clerk's Civil Division handles county civil claims up to $50,000. The Clerk's packet store does not publish a general county civil packet; the civil packets it lists are Small Claims, Unlawful Detainer, and Eviction.
Other court forms in an existing case
The clerks publish an "Application for Determination of Civil Indigent Status," the form the court lists for asking the clerk to determine eligibility to defer filing fees — the form people look for when they search "can't afford the court filing fee in Florida." Court packets also include a Designation of Current Email and Mailing Address form, used to keep the clerk and the other party informed of a filer's address; the Small Claims Rules publish a Designation of E-Mail Address for a Party Not Represented by an Attorney (Form 7.315) and a Change of Address form (Form 7.316).
