Pomeroy v. Pomeroy
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 15, 2011 · Wolf, Hawkes, Roberts
75 So. 3d 428; 2011 Fla. App. LEXIS 19996; 2011 WL 6224499 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Pomeroy v. Pomeroy

Opinion

WOLF, J.

We find appellant’s argument that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction is without merit. In the General Assignment of Judges No. 2011-02, the chief judge of the Third Judicial Circuit appointed County Court Judge Stephen Murphy “as circuit court judge[ ] to adjudicate any issue pending in any circuit court case in the Third Judicial Circuit that will provide prompt disposition of cases and efficiently administer the courts.”

We reverse the portion of the trial court’s order requiring appellant to provide health, dental, and medical insurance for the parties’ daughter, who was over the age of eighteen. See Kern v. Kern, 360 So.2d 482, 486 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978) (finding “a parent owes no duty of support to an adult child except in extraordinary circumstances as when the child suffers severe physical or mental incapacitation”).

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.

HAWKES and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.
