Dissenting Opinion

FERGUSON, Judge

(dissenting).

The only record justification for separating the two minor boys was the older child’s expressed preference, made under compulsion to elect. I would reverse. See Arons v. Arons, 94 So.2d 849 (Fla.1957) (children should not be separated from each other except for the most compelling cause).
