R.C. v. Department of Children & Family Services
R.C. v. Department of Children & Family Services
Opinion of the Court
R.C. appeals an order placing his two daughters, T.C. and R.B., in a permanent guardianship
The Department also concedes that, even if the trial court’s order complied ■with section 39.6221(2), the evidence was insufficient to support the placement of the children in a permanent guardianship. We agree. See C.A. v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 988 So.2d 1247, 1249 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) (holding that trial court’s finding must be supported by competent substantial evidence). Accordingly, we reverse the order placing the children in a permanent guardianship and remand for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded.
. Although R.C. characterizes the order appealed as terminating his parental rights, his parental rights were not terminated.
