M.J. v. A.B.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 13, 1997 · Altenbernd, Fulmer, Patterson
694 So. 2d 888; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 6543 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

M.J. v. A.B.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment establishing paternity in this action, which also awarded shared parental responsibility and provided visitation rights for the father’s parents. The trial court determined that it was in the best interest of the parties’ seven-year-old daughter to have grandparental visitation with the father’s parents so that the child could visit her father at a Florida prison. See § 61.13(2)(b)2.c., Fla. Stat. (1995). Our record lacks a transcript of the hearing and does not provide a basis to reverse the trial court’s decision. Our affirmance does not preclude the mother from seeking a modification of the visitation schedule should the visits prove traumatic to the child.

Affirmed.

PATTERSON, A.C.J., and ALTENBERND and FULMER, JJ., concur.
