JONATHAN HART, Appellant, v. TAYLOR M. MOORE o/b/o Jonathan Hart, Catherine Hart, and Kylie Hart, Appellee.
Jonathan Hart appeals the circuit court's denial of his motion for reconsideration following the court's refusal to dissolve a domestic violence injunction entered for his three children. We reverse for two reasons.
First, Hart provided evidence of a change in circumstances. Not only did Hart complete court-ordered classes, but he entered voluntary therapy in March 2022. His therapist testified that Hart had not shown any aggressive behaviors. Second, Moore—as the minors’ representative—did not present any evidence of an objectively reasonable fear of future domestic violence. The son testified to vague threats against Moore, his mother. However, Moore undermined any suggestions that she was fearful of Hart when she informed the court that she told her children they could reach out to Hart when they wanted. See, e.g., Labrake v. Labrake, 335 So. 3d 214, 217-18 (Fla. 1st DCA 2022). Accordingly, we reverse and remand with instructions to dissolve the injunction.
Reversed and remanded.
Per Curiam.
Kuntz, C.J., Gross and Artau, JJ., concur.
