Shingel v. Peters
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 26, 2004 · Sawaya, Sharp, Torpy
867 So. 2d 1281; 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 3850; 2004 WL 587680 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Shingel v. Peters

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellants challenge the lower court’s order that enforced an Illinois court’s judgment under which Appellees, the maternal grandmother and maternal great-grandmother of two children, were given rights of visitation with the children, who now reside in this state with their mother and father. Appellants acknowledge that our decision today is controlled by our prior decision in Bellow v. Bellow, 736 So.2d 759 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999), but urge that we recede from Bellow in light of the Fourth District’s decision in M.S. v. D.C., 763 So.2d 1051 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). We decline Appellant’s request that we recede from Bellow but certify conflict with M.S. v. D.C.

AFFIRMED; CONFLICT CERTIFIED.

SAWAYA, C.J., SHARP, W., and TORPY, JJ., concur.
