Pecker v. Pecker

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District

240 So. 2d 528 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1970)

Opinion

No. 70-346.

November 3, 1970.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, James Lawrence King, J.

Herman Grayson and John E. Porte, Miami Beach, for appellant.

Betty Kessler, Miami, for appellee.

Before CHARLES CARROLL, BARKDULL and HENDRY, JJ.


Appellant seeks reversal of a final judgment granting the appellee a divorce and denying her claim for alimony.

The sole question presented is whether the court erred in taking jurisdiction of the parties and subject matter. It is appellant's contention that the appellee did not prove that he had become a bona fide resident of the state of Florida for six months last past prior to filing his complaint for divorce.

It is a well established rule of law that the trial judge's findings of fact and conclusions of law come to the appellate court with a presumption of correctness and will not be disturbed unless they are clearly erroneous. No reversible error having been made to appear the judgment appealed must be affirmed.

Affirmed.
