Summary
In S.S., the trial court had denied the parent's constitutional challenge based upon this court's decision in Beagle v. Beagle, 654 So.2d 1260 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995). A consent order was subsequently entered permitting some supervised grandparent visitation.
Summary of this case from Williams v. SpearsOpinion
No. 97-491.
December 31, 1997.
Petition for Writ of Certiorari — Original Jurisdiction.
Darryl D. Kendrick of Donohoe and Kendrick, Jacksonville, for Appellant.
J.M.N., Jacksonville, Pro Se.
We deny the petition for a writ of certiorari on the authority of Sketo v. Brown. 559 So.2d 381 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990). However, we certify conflict with Fitts v. Poe, 699 So.2d 348 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), and we certify the same question certified in Von Eiff v. Azicri, 699 So.2d 772, 778 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997):
MAY THE STATE CONSTITUTIONALLY ALLOW REASONABLE GRANDPARENT VISITATION WHERE ONE OR BOTH PARENTS OF A CHILD ARE DECEASED AND VISITATION IS DETERMINED TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD?
ALLEN, WEBSTER and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
