What is laches in a Florida family law case? This is a defense asserted by a party that means the other party waited so long to assert his or her claim, that the party asserting laches cannot adequately prepare a defense because, for example, evidence has been lost or is no longer available. This was an issue in the case Phanord v. Phanord, 3D24-0818 (Fla. 3d DCA May 14, 2025).
