Yenny N. Gonzalez v. Paul D. Walker

190 So. 3d 698, 2016 WL 2906746, 2016 Fla. App. LEXIS 7649

Opinion

HANZMAN, MICHAEL A., Associate Judge.

- Appellant Yenny -Gonzalez challenges the trial court’s “Final Judgment of Paternity, Timesharing, Child Support and other Relief,” állegirig multiple errors. We affirm with one exception. Upon our review of the record, we conclude that the trial court’s grant of ultimate decision making authority to the appellee was an abuse of discretion as: (a) the pleadings did not place appellant on adequate notice that this relief was being sought, Cruz v. Domenech, 905 So.2d 938, 940 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005); and (b) no competent evidence showed “a continuing pattern of hostility that reasonably would lead one to conclude that the parties [would] be unable to effectively work together for their child’s best interests.” Fazzaro v. Fazzaro, 110 So.3d 49, 52 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013). We therefore direct the trial court to enter an Amended Final Judgment providing that the parties confer and jointly make all major* decisions regarding the welfare of the child.

Affirmed in part, Reversed in part and Remanded.

DAMOORGIAN and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
