Opinion
No. 86-1087.
May 26, 1987.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Frederick N. Barad, Judge.
Law Offices of Rodriguez-Chomat, Fernandez Associates, P.A., and Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat, Miami, for appellant.
No appearance for appellee.
Before HUBBART, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
Contrary to the trial court's conclusion that a spouse who is a foreign national cannot establish the requisite residency for the purpose of dissolution of marriage, this court in Nicolas v. Nicolas, 444 So.2d 1118 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), held that a spouse can do so. We reverse the trial court's order dismissing the petition for dissolution on the authority of Nicolas and remand for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded.
