Boffey v. Boffey

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
May 20, 1983
430 So. 2d 514 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

Nos. 81-492, 82-1626.

April 20, 1983. Rehearing Denied May 20, 1983.

Consolidated appeals from Circuit Court, Palm Beach County; Paul T. Douglas, Judge.

Basil S. Diamond of Walton, Lantaff, Schroeder Carson, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

James L. Eisenberg of Green, Eisenberg Cohen, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


These are consolidated appeals from a non-final order and a final judgment in a dissolution of marriage matter. The non-final appeal is hereby dismissed as moot. The final judgment dissolving the marriage is affirmed as modified. The provision in the final judgment dealing with the distribution of the proceeds of the bankruptcy proceeding involving husband and wife, along with the wife's mother and a corporation, is deleted. The wife's mother and the corporation were not parties to the proceeding and no ruling affecting them should have been made. As the trial court has retained jurisdiction in this matter, the proceeds eventually derived from the bankruptcy proceeding are subject to the court's further orders after the bankruptcy proceeding is complete. The paragraph dealing with distribution of the bankruptcy assets is stricken and the judgment is affirmed as modified.

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.

DOWNEY, BERANEK and HURLEY, JJ., concur.
