  1. Hollowell v. Tamburro

    991 So. 2d 1022 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2008)   Cited 5 times
    A "child custody determination" under section 61.503(3), Florida Statutes (2008), is an order providing for, among other things, the "physical custody" and "visitation with respect to a child"; that "term does not include an order relating to child support or other monetary obligation of an individual."

  2. Durkee v. Durkee

    906 So. 2d 1176 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2005)   Cited 3 times
    Durkee responds that a nonresident who voluntarily comes into a jurisdiction solely to attend court as a witness or party is generally immune from service of process. Lienard v. DeWitt, 153 So.2d 302 (Fla. 1963), and § 61.510, which provides immunity in certain family law proceedings. Durkee, however, was not in Florida solely to attend a court proceeding. He was served while he was living and working in Florida, and was therefore not immune from service.
