Hill v. Department of Children & Families
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 24, 2003 · Harris, Palmer, Thompson
835 So. 2d 367; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 517; 2003 WL 160764 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hill v. Department of Children & Families

Opinion of the Court

HARRIS, C., Senior Judge.

Within five days of ordering a paternity test in this case (the record does not reflect the result), the court ordered temporary support from the putative father to the Department of Children and Families and entered an income deduction order. Appellant claims, and the limited record does not dispute that the support order and the income deduction order were both entered without notice and without an opportunity to be heard. The Department has not responded. We reverse.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

THOMPSON, C.J., and PALMER, J., concur.
