LAFOREST v. LAFOREST (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Brian James LAFOREST, Petitioner, v. Danielle Deanne LAFOREST, Respondent.

No. 4D19-2189

Decided: December 11, 2019

Matthew S. Nugent and Adam M. Zborowski of Nugent Zborowski, North Palm Beach, for appellant. Jonathan M. Galler and Howard M. Rudolph of Rudolph & Associates LLC, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

We grant the husband's petition for writ of certiorari in part and quash the trial court's order requiring disclosure of his mental health treatment records. The trial court departed from the essential requirements of law in failing to provide for the mandatory in camera inspection to ensure that only relevant documents and information are disclosed. Zarzaur v. Zarzaur, 213 So. 3d 1115, 1120 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017). The court may order production in a manner that allows for in camera review.

Petition granted in part and denied in part.

Per Curiam.

Ciklin, Conner and Klingensmith, JJ., concur.
