314 So. 2d 233 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1975
Lead Opinion
Appellant appeals an order of the trial court finding that the appellee was not obligated to continue paying support payments for a child who had reached her eighteenth birthday. The final judgment of divorce dated January 19, 1971, which of course predated the order here appealed, simply provided that the defendant (appel-lee here) “pay to the plaintiff * * * child support * * * until the further order of this court.” That is, there was no provision that the child support payments continue until the subject child attain any particular age, specifically 21 years. There is no indication in the record that said final judgment was based upon any agreement or stipulation of the parties. Appellant, while conceding that the facts in the case sub judice are very similar to those in White v. White, Fla.App. 1st 1974, 296 So.2d 619, nevertheless urges that the White case has been reversed by applica
Affirmed.
Concurrence Opinion
(concurring specially).
While I dissented from the majority opinion in White v. White, supra, the ruling in that case is the ruling of this court unless subsequently changed by a higher court. I, therefore, concur in the foregoing opinion. I agree that because of the factual situation in Daugherty v. Daugherty, supra, the Supreme Court did not there overrule the law of White.
