Court grants name change, approves attorney fees and property listing; schedules mediation in Washington case

The court handled several administrative matters during the docket session.

Name change: The judge granted a petition to change a petitioner’s name from Benjamin Robert Carmona to Mina Maria Rosa Carmona, signed the order at the bench and directed the petitioner to obtain a copy from the clerk and master’s office.

Prim partition: In Preva Jain Myatt Prim v. John Vance Prim, the court entered a final order approving attorney fees and distribution after the property sale; the net proceeds deposited with the clerk and master will be remitted per the motion and no further issues remain in that matter.

Heir‑property listing: In a partition action involving heir property, the court granted the petitioner’s motion to employ a broker after receiving a bankruptcy court order authorizing listing. The court authorized listing with Bobby Woods at Keller Williams at a 2.5% commission and signed an order mirroring the bankruptcy court’s terms.

Washington matter: In Joffrey Washington v. Noel Nicole Washington, the parties agreed to a temporary parenting arrangement and to mediation. The judge approved a temporary schedule under which the mother will have the minor children every other weekend from Friday until Sunday at 6 p.m., and the court scheduled mediation for Oct. 16 at 9 a.m. The court indicated the order approving the temporary arrangement is binding on the parties until mediation or further court action.

Procedural notes: The court confirmed that in matters where parties agree, the judge will enter orders that become immediately binding and that entries must be reflected in written orders filed with the clerk’s office. No votes were recorded; these were judicial rulings and agreed orders entered at the hearing.
