Robertson v. Robertson

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Jun 17, 1977
352 So. 2d 83 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1977)

Opinion

No. 76-916.

June 17, 1977.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Broward County; Stanton S. Kaplan, Judge.

James A. Grady, Pompano Beach, for appellant.

Nathan Ross, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.


Affirmed.

MAGER, C.J., and LETTS, J., concur.

ANSTEAD, J., concurs specially.


In this marriage of short duration, the wife was awarded an interest in certain bank accounts of the husband on the basis that the husband had previously made a gift to her of 50% of these accounts by adding her name thereto for a short period of time. I believe that the decision in Ball v. Ball, 335 So.2d 5 (Fla. 1976), if applicable, would have mandated a different result. However, the Supreme Court specifically ruled that Ball was not to have retroactive application and was limited to real property. Accordingly, I concur in affirming the judgment of the trial court.
