Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Domestic Violence

When a Florida domestic violence injunction is denied, and party may decide to appeal. A record or transcript of the proceedings is usually required for the appeal. This was an issue in the case Miller v. Miller, 6D2025-2649 (Fla. 6th DCA April 24, 2026).

This appellate opinion does not provide much background information, but states “We affirm. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (‘Without a record of the trial proceedings, the appellate court can not properly resolve the underlying factual issues so as to conclude that the trial court’s judgment is not supported by the evidence or by an alternative theory.’).”
