Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 18, 2005 · Farmer, Hazouri, Shahood
901 So. 2d 1024; 2005 Fla. App. LEXIS 7268; 2005 WL 1163309 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Andressohn v. State, Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement ex rel. Andressohn

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of prohibition is granted. The Miami-Dade circuit court was the first to acquire jurisdiction of this matter. Thus, under the principle of priority, the Miami-Dade court has exclusive jurisdiction. Graham v. Graham, 648 So.2d 814, 816 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995) (explaining “where courts within one sovereignty have concurrent jurisdiction, the court which first exercises its jurisdiction acquires exclusive jurisdiction to proceed with that ease”).

FARMER, C.J., SHAHOOD and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.
