See Tercier v.

Wallace, 249 So. 3d 670, 672 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017) and citing In re T.D. v. Dep't of Child. & Fam. Servs., 924 So. 2d 827, 831 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005) (observing that no “post-Berg-Perlow decisions of this court requires reversal solely on the ground that a trial court has adopted a judgment prepared by one of the parties”))); Kendall Healthcare Grp., Ltd. v. Madrigal, 271 So. 3d 1120, 1122 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019) (rejecting appellant's argument “that the trial judge failed to exercise his independent judgment merely because he adopted verbatim [appellees’] proposed order”); Flint v.

Kasm, 933 So. 2d 48, 50 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006) (“The trial court must not only determine that one spouse has a need for suit money and the other has the ability to pay, but also that the temporary attorney's fees and costs awarded are reasonable.” (quotation omitted)); Safford v.
