N.B. v. Department of Children & Families
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 19, 2016 · Emas, Salter, Suarez
206 So. 3d 763; 2016 Fla. App. LEXIS 15561 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

N.B. v. Department of Children & Families

Opinion of the Court

SUAREZ, C.J.

N.B., an uncharged father, appeals the trial court’s granting of visitation by the maternal grandmother of his child. We affirm because the record below makes clear that N.B. repeatedly consented to the visitation and confirmed several times that he understood that the trial court was permitting it. Clear Channel Metroplex, Inc. v. Sunbeam Television Corp., 922 So.2d 229, 232 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (Waiver is “the voluntary and intentional relinquishment of a known right.”).

Affirmed.
