Opinion

DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT

JONATHAN HART, Appellant,

v.

TAYLOR M. MOORE o/b/o Jonathan Hart, Catherine Hart, and Kylie Hart, Appellee.

No. 4D2024-3222

[September 8, 2025]

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Elaine Carbuccia, Judge; L.T. Case No. DVCE21- 006587.

Jonathan Hart, Wellington, pro se.

No appearance for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Jonathan Hart appeals the circuit court’s denial of his motion for reconsideration following the court’s refusal to dissolve a domestic violence injunction entered for his three children. We reverse for two reasons.

First, Hart provided evidence of a change in circumstances. Not only did Hart complete court-ordered classes, but he entered voluntary therapy in March 2022. His therapist testified that Hart had not shown any aggressive behaviors. Second, Moore—as the minors’ representative—did not present any evidence of an objectively reasonable fear of future domestic violence. The son testified to vague threats against Moore, his mother. However, Moore undermined any suggestions that she was fearful of Hart when she informed the court that she told her children they could reach out to Hart when they wanted. See, e.g., Labrake v. Labrake, 335 So. 3d 214, 217-18 (Fla. 1st DCA 2022). Accordingly, we reverse and remand with instructions to dissolve the injunction.

Reversed and remanded. KUNTZ, C.J., GROSS and ARTAU, JJ., concur.
