Fla. 5th DCA | 2013-12-27
No. 5D13-3484
SAWAYA, ORFINGER and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
135 So. 3d 360 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2013) Positive Treatment
Cited by 1 case

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Melissa Sims appeals from an order granting her former husband’s motion to change venue. We reverse because Sims was deprived of due process of law when the trial court entered the order without affording Sims the opportunity to be heard on the motion. See J.L.S. v. R.J.L., 708 So.2d 293 (Fla.2d DCA 1998) (order granting change of venue reversed where trial court entered order without notice or hearing). On remand, the parties are entitled to an evidentiary hearing on the motion.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

SAWAYA, ORFINGER and EVANDER, JJ., concur.

Notwithstanding, we review the trial court’s legal conclusion that venue was proper in Polk County de novo and conclude that it was incorrect. See Hall v. Animals.c…
