Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Child Custody
In a Florida child custody case, the court can enter temporary orders concerning visitation. In the case Aabbott v. Kligman, 3D25-402 (Fla. 3d DCA July 23, 2025), the court awarded the father two supervised overnight visits per week and the mother appealed.
During a two-day evidentiary hearing, the mother presented evidence by way of expert testimony, presumably against granting the father time-sharing. The trial court awarded the two overnights, supervised, and the other appealed. The appellate court affirmed, calling the trial court’s order well-reasoned and citing in part Young v. Hector, 740 So. 2d 1153, 1157 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998) (“An appellate court must affirm if there is substantial competent evidence to support the trial court’s finding that the custody award was in the best interests of the child.”).
