Giarrusso v. Giarrusso

Giarrusso v. Giarrusso
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 5, 1988 · Hendry, Hubbart, Jorgenson
528 So. 2d 399; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 1115; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 1855; 1988 WL 44495 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Giarrusso v. Giarrusso

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s order declining to exercise jurisdiction over the child based on its determination that California was the appropriate forum for this litigation. See Williams v. Starnes, 522 So.2d 469 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988); Nelson v. Nelson, 433 So.2d 1015 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983); Trujillo v. Trujillo, 378 So.2d 812 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979); §§ 61.1304-1308, Fla.Stat. (1987). Because we conclude that this case involving custody of a child has lingered too long in the Florida courts, we dispense with rehearing.

Affirmed.
