Sarah Burgess appeals the trial court's nonfinal order denying her petition to temporarily relocate with the parties' minor children. Burgess raises several issues, none of which warrant reversal. The record supports the trial court's determination that she did not carry her burden to show that relocation is in the best interests of the minor children. See § 61.13001(8), Fla. Stat. (2024); Coyle v. Coyle, 8 So. 3d 1271, 1272-73 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009).
Affirmed.
