District Court of Appeal of Florida

In a dispute relating to two actions involving a divorcing couple, the husband's parents, and all the parties' interests in a marital home, the wife's petition for writ of certiorari is granted and orders of the dissolution judge denying consolidation and leave to amend are quashed due to the potential irreparable harm that inconsistent rulings on the parties' entitlement to and interest in the marital home will compromise a dissolution judge's ability to fashion a final judgment under Florida Statutes Chapter 61.
