Aura Elizabeth CUBILLOS, Appellant, v. Alfredo VELASQUEZ, Appellee.
Affirmed. See Popper v. Popper, 595 So. 2d 100, 102-03 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992) (“When the out-of-state decree is one entered by the court of a foreign nation rather than a state or territory of the United States, the Florida court has discretion as to whether to recognize it and give it effect—a matter of ‘comity.’ ”) (citations omitted); § 61.0401(3), Fla. Stat. (2019) (“A judgment or order of a court of a foreign country is not entitled to comity if the parties were not given adequate notice and the opportunity to be heard, the foreign court did not have jurisdiction, or the judgment or order of the foreign court offends the public policy of this state.”); see also Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (“Without a record of the ․ proceedings, the appellate court can not properly resolve the underlying factual issues so as to conclude that the trial court's judgment is not supported by the evidence or by an alternative theory.”); Gawker Media, LLC v. Bollea, 170 So. 3d 125, 130 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015) (“[A]ppellate courts have held that a party waived its objection to an order setting trial ․ [when] the appellant agreed to a ․ trial date, participated in trial, and made no objection to any deviation from [Florida] [R]ule [of Civil Procedure] 1.440.”) (citations omitted).
PER CURIAM.
