    Steven Patrick Combs, Chair, the Family Law Rules Committee, Jacksonville, FL, for Petitioner.
    Joan K. Koch, Chief Legal Counsel, Florida Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement Program, Tallahassee, FL, responding with comments.
   PER CURIAM.

In our opinion in this case issued April 7, 2011, the Court adopted six new Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms: form 12.970(a) (Petition for Temporary Custody by Extended Family); form 12.970(b) (Petition for Concurrent Custody by Extended Family); form 12.970(c) (Waiver of Service of Process and Consent for Temporary Custody by Extended Family); form 12.970(d) (Waiver of Service of Process and Consent for Concurrent Custody by Extended Family); form 12.970(e) (Order Granting Petition for Temporary Custody by Extended Family); and form 12.970(f) (Order Granting Petition for Concurrent Custody by Extended Family). See In re Amendments to the Fla. Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms, 60 So.3d 979 (Fla.2011). The six forms were developed in response to recent legislative changes made by chapter 2010-30, Laws of Florida, which was passed by the Florida Legislature and took effect July 1, 2010. See ch.2010-30, § 9, Laws of Fla. The Court’s opinion invited interested persons to provide comments on the new forms within sixty days. The Court received one comment from the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR), addressing forms 12.970(e) and 12.970(f).

Forms 12.970(e) and 12.970© are orders granting petitions for temporary custody by an extended family member and concurrent custody by an extended family member, respectively. The comment from DOR urges the Court to revise the sections in each form pertaining to “Method of Payment” in order to make a number of clarifying changes. Upon consideration of DOR’s comment, and with input from the Advisory Workgroup on the Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms, we amend forms 12.970(e) and 12.970(f) as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. The forms are fully engrossed and ready for use. The forms may also be accessed and downloaded from the Florida State Court’s website at www. flcourts.org/gen_public/family/forms_rules/ index.shtml. By adoption of these forms, we express no opinion as to their correctness or applicability. The amendments shall become effective immediately upon release of this opinion.

It is so ordered.
