Keitel v. Keitel
Keitel v. Keitel
Opinion of the Court
ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
We grant appellee’s motion for rehearing or clarification. We withdraw our previous opinion and replace it with the following.
On the motion of one of the parties, the trial court was empowered to determine which party was responsible for the expert witness fees incurred at a section 741.30, Florida Statutes (1995) extension hearing and to liquidate the amount. See § 92.231, Fla. Stat. (1995). The witnesses were two of appellee’s treating physicians. In preparation for the hearing, appellee deposed the doctors, with the intent of using the transcripts at the hearing. Appellant subpoenaed both doctors to the hearing and they both appeared. The trial court determined that appellant should bear the burden of the doctors’ bills for their court appearances, since he subpoenaed them to the hearing.
