325 So. 2d 12 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1975
Carolyn Patricia Blanco SHEEHY, Appellant,
v.
Ronald John SHEEHY, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
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.
