Furry v. Rickles

Appellant challenges a final judgment of injunction for protection against domestic violence. Although he raises three issues on appeal, we address only whether the hearing on the injunction satisfied due process requirements. Because the trial court entered the injunction without conducting a full evidentiary hearing pursuant to section 741.30(5), Florida Statutes (2010), its actions constitute a due process violation. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.

Parties are entitled to a full hearing prior to the trial court issuing a permanent injunction. See § 741.30, Fla. Stat. (2010)…
