ANANGELICA ROMAN, APPELLANT,
v.
ANGEL LUIS LOPEZ, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 2002-03-27
No. 3D01-2165
Before COPE, RAMIREZ, JJ., and NESBITT, Senior Judge.
811 So. 2d 840 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2002)

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Anangelica Roman, a petitioner for injunction for protection against domestic violence, appeals the trial court’s order requiring her to attend parenting classes. We reject her argument that attendance at parenting classes must be pled.

Section 61.21, Florida Statutes (2001), authorizes parenting courses. In addition, section 61.13(4)(c)(2), Florida Statutes (2001), authorizes a court to “order the custodial parent to attend the parenting course approved by the judicial circuit.” See Shaw v. Shaw, 760 So. 2d 981, 982 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). Although Chapter 741 governs domestic violence petitions, section 741.30(6) (a)(3), Florida Statutes (2001), grants the court authority to enter an order granting temporary custody of a minor child “[o]n the same basis as provided in chapter 61.” That is what the trial court did in this instance.

Affirmed.
