Saucier v. Willis
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 12, 1995 · Benton, Ervin, Miner
656 So. 2d 252; 1995 Fla. App. LEXIS 8956; 1995 WL 348298 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Saucier v. Willis

Opinion of the Court

ERVIN, Judge.

The trial court abused its discretion in restricting visitation between appellant and his son “[bjased on the child’s youth.” Kerr v. Kerr, 486 So.2d 708 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986). And see Ketola v. Ketola, 636 So.2d 850 (Fla. 1st DCA) (section 61.13(2)(b)l, Florida Statutes, abolished the “tender years” doctrine), review dismissed, 649 So.2d 233 (Fla. 1994). We therefore reverse and remand with directions for the lower court to grant liberal visitation to appellant.

REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings.

MINER and BENTON, JJ., concur.
