The importance of having a court reporter at a Florida family law hearing was highlighted again in a recent appellate case: Shaw v. Shaw, 3D24-1393 (Fla. 3d DCA April 16, 2025).
The father appealed the trial court’s temporary suspension of his time-sharing, arguing the court considered improper evidence at the hearing and improperly gave more weight to one substance abuse report over another. The appellate court affirmed, holding “[The father] has provided this Court with neither a transcript of the evidentiary hearing, nor a copy of either substance abuse report. Indeed, {the father] has provided no record on appeal at all. Because {the father] has failed to demonstrate reversible error, we are compelled to affirm.”
