Can a Florida family court temporarily modify a Florida parenting plan? This was an issue in the case Santander v. Peralta, 4D2026-0240 (Fla. 4th DCA February 25, 2026).
This case does not provide background facts, but it appears a party appealed an order which temporarily modified timesharing. The appellate court affirmed with the following citation: “Fla. R. App. P. 9.315(a). The trial court did not abuse its broad discretion. Riddle v. Riddle, 214 So. 3d 694, 696 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017) (‘Temporary relief orders in family law cases are among the areas where trial judges have the very broadest discretion, which appellate courts are very reluctant to interfere with except under the most compelling of circumstances.’).”
