Department of Children & Family Services v. S.D.921 So. 2d 801 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006) · 1D05-5800

Court
1st DCA
Decided
2006-02-27
Law cited
§ 409.401
On CourtListener
PER CURIAM.

Because the lower court violated the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, codified at section 409.401, Florida Statutes (2005), by placing the child, M.T. with her mother, S.D., in Georgia, which is not a “visit” under ICPC Regulation No. 9, without obtaining the consent of the appropriate public authorities of Georgia, we GRANT the petition for writ of certiorari, vacate the order, and remand for further proceedings. See H.P v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 838 So.2d 583 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003).

ERVIN, WOLF and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
