Swartsell v. Swartsell

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Mar 17, 1993
615 So. 2d 826 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1993)

Opinion

No. 92-3136.

March 17, 1993.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Broward County, J. Leonard Fleet, J.

Harry D. Dennis, Jr., Pompano Beach, for appellant.

No appearance for appellee.


Reversed and remanded for an evidentiary hearing. We agree with appellant that the trial court erred in resolving the issue of temporary custody of the parties' minor child without conducting an evidentiary hearing. Cf. Pearson v. Caudle, 593 So.2d 619 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992).

GLICKSTEIN, C.J., and ANSTEAD, J., concur.

STONE, J., concurs specially with opinion.


I agree that the court's order went too far, given the limited nature of the emergency hearing. However, I would provide that the temporary custody aspect of the order remain in effect until a further temporary hearing is noticed and held.
