Department of Children & Families v. Dixon
938 So. 2d 992; 2006 Fla. App. LEXIS 16209; 2006 WL 2788218
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Department of Children & Families v. Dixon
Opinion of the Court
Considering appellee’s concession of error, we reverse the trial court’s order of dependency. The trial court was without jurisdiction to conduct an adjudicatory hearing because the children turned 18 before the date of the hearing. Also, the court erred in back-dating its order of adjudication to a hearing date where no evidence was taken to substantiate an adjudication of dependency.
