Client is making a telephone appearance in FLA from VA

Florida allows for a party to a Florida Court action to make a telephone appearance from VA provided a Va Notary is present. The Court will request the Notary's name id number and address. This becomes part of the public record. The notary then administers the oath. The notary is free to leave and does not need to stay for the rest of the proceedings. Federal Bankruptcy Courts have a similar procedures for a person who is disabled and can not appear in Court. In both cases, the Notary is free to leave after the Court says the Notary can leave. I make sure I get paid before the Court proceeding begin so I can leave promptly.
