Jose SALA, Appellant, v. Penelope WOOD, Appellee.
After a temporary judge suspended the Mother's timesharing on an emergency basis,1 the assigned trial judge conducted a full evidentiary hearing. It gave both parties adequate notice of the hearing and an opportunity to be heard. Roberts v. Diaz, 343 So. 3d 156, 158 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022). It properly considered all evidence before it. See § 90.803(6), Fla. Stat. (2024); § 90.902(11), Fla. Stat. (2024). After carefully considering this evidence, the trial court restored timesharing between the parties. The order is supported by competent, substantial evidence. See Meyers v. Meyers, 295 So. 3d 1207, 1211 (Fla. 2d DCA 2020) (“Modification of timesharing by a trial court should be affirmed if the trial court's order is supported by competent substantial evidence.”). Therefore, we affirm in all respects.
Affirmed.
