THOMAS Y. KANI

RAYAUNA FEASTER

Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2023)

PER CURIAM.

Thomas Y. Kani appeals the trial court’s final judgment of paternity rendered after trial. He raises two grounds for reversal. Kani asserts that under Perlow v. Berg-Perlow, 875 So. 2d 383 (Fla. 2004), and its progeny, the trial court erred in adopting, verbatim, Appellee’s proposed final judgment. The record, however, reflects that the final judgment entered by the trial court included its own changes, additions, and deletions to Appellee’s proposed final

judgment and was entered some ten days after Kani had received the proposed judgment and thus had the ability to notify the trial court of any objections. Accordingly, we affirm on this issue.1

On Kani’s remaining ground for relief, we affirm on the authority of Hester v. Hester, 705 So. 2d 721, 721 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998) (“In the absence of a record of the final hearing on November 20, 1996, there is no basis to reverse the appealed judgment on evidentiary grounds. The child support guidelines worksheet attached to the judgment has sufficient information to allow review of the guidelines calculation, and we find no error.”).

AFFIRMED.

LAMBERT, HARRIS, and PRATT, JJ., concur. _____________________________
