The Smith Family Law Florida Case Law Update: Week of March 26, 2018.

HAPPY EASTER!

Harris v. Harris: Fla 5^th DCA, March 29, 2018:

A party cannot complain of inadequate findings on appeal unless the alleged defect was raised in a motion for rehearing.

Crespo v. Lebron: Fla 5^th DCA, March 29, 2018:

While business loss (gross receipts minus ordinary and necessary expenses required to produce income) can be utilized to decrease income for calculation of support it cannot be based on conclusory testimony, but instead, must be established through competent, substantial evidence.

Zarudny v. Zarudny: Fla. 3^rd DCA, March 28, 2018:

Trial court properly entered permanent injunction based on domestic violence.  Although separate findings as to each factor in section 61.13(3) are not required to sustain a temporary award of temporary timesharing, the record or the final judgment must reflect that the custody determination was made in the best interest of the child.  Here, the trial court’s award of temporary 100% timesharing with Mother (with supervised timesharing with Father) under the circumstances was supported.
