Ballard v. Ballard

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Nov 22, 1989
551 So. 2d 567 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1989)

Opinion

No. 89-0475.

October 11, 1989. Rehearing, Clarification and Certification Denied November 22, 1989.

Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County; Michael E. Gersten, Judge.

Donald R. Ballard, West Palm Beach, appellant pro se.

Rena J. Taylor of Legal Aid Soc. of Palm Beach County, Inc., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


This is an appeal from a non-final order transferring venue from Palm Beach County to Santa Rosa County. The trial court has broad discretion in dealing with issues of venue. Groome v. Abrams, 448 So.2d 82 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984). Appellant has failed to meet his burden of showing an abuse of that discretion. Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150 (Fla. 1979).

Accordingly, the order of the trial court transferring venue is affirmed.

HERSEY, C.J., and STONE and POLEN, JJ., concur.
