Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1977

Robertson v. Robertson

Robertson v. Robertson
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 17, 1977 · Anstead, Letts, Mager
352 So. 2d 83; 1977 Fla. App. LEXIS 15792 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Robertson v. Robertson

Concurring Opinion

ANSTEAD, Judge,

concurring specially:

In this marriage of short duration, the wife was awarded an interest in certain bank accounts of the husband on the basis that the husband had previously made a gift to her of 50% of these accounts by adding her name thereto for a short period of time. I believe that the decision in Ball v. Ball, 335 So.2d 5 (Fla. 1976), if applicable, would have mandated a different result. However, the Supreme Court specifically ruled that Ball was not to have retroactive application and was limited to real property. Accordingly, I concur in affirming the judgment of the trial court.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.
