Peter A. J. Liggatt, Appellant, v. Susanne V. Liggatt, Appellee.
Peter Liggatt (“Husband”) appeals a non-final order which granted to his wife, Susanne Liggatt (“Wife”), “exclusive authority to retain a realtor and enter into a listing agreement without the necessity of any signatures from the Husband.” We recognize that Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3)(C)(ii), (iii)a.-c. authorizes non-final appeals of orders that determine “the right to immediate possession of property” and in family law matters that grant “a. the right to immediate monetary relief; b. the rights or obligations of a party regarding child custody or time-sharing parenting plan; or c. that a marital agreement is invalid in its entirety.” This order, however, does not make such a determination. Although Wife was given exclusive right to enter into a listing agreement, the order did not give her the right to immediate possession of the property or otherwise exclude Husband from the property, but only from the decision as to who the realtor will be and the execution of the listing agreement. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM.
NARDELLA, KAMOUTSAS and PRATT, JJ., concur.
