Sheehy v. Sheehy

325 So.2d 12 (1975) Carolyn Patricia Blanco SHEEHY, Appellant, v. Ronald John SHEEHY, Appellee. No. 75-652. District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District. December 12, 1975. Robert C. Gibbons and Philip R. Lazzara of Gibbons, Tucker, McEwen, Smith, Cofer & Taub, Tampa, for appellant. Richard H. McInnis, Tampa, for appellee. PER CURIAM. Appellant-mother, having been awarded permanent child custody by a final judgment of dissolution of marriage, appeals from a modification of that judgment which awards certain visitation rights to the paternal grandparents. We reverse. An order granting visitation rights to a non-parent of a child whose custody has been awarded to a fit parent is unjustified and unenforceable.[1] In view whereof, the order appealed from is, in this regard, reversed. In all other respects it is affirmed. McNULTY, C.J., and BOARDMAN and GRIMES, JJ., concur. NOTES [1] See Parker v. Gates (1925), 89 Fla. 76, 103 So. 126; Rodriguez v. Rodriguez (Fla.App. 3rd, 1974), 295 So.2d 328; Lee v. Kepler (Fla.App.3rd, 1967), 197 So.2d 570.
