OUTCOME: Reversed in client's favor.
Unmarried father filed petition to change son's surname from that of mother to that of father arguing, among other things, that he wanted son to carry on his family name and that son might be teased if ... he did not have the same surname as his father. The District Court of Appeal held that father's assertions were insufficient to establish that change to son's surname was in son's best interests.
OUTCOME: Remand for Summary Judgment in Client's favor
Appeal of a final order partitioning property client and opposing party held as joint tenants with right of survivorship. Because opposing party died before the trial proceedings produced a final order ... of partition, the joint tenancy was intact at his death. Client, by reason of the joint tenant's death, owned an undivided interest in the property. Appellate court reversed the posthumously rendered partition order and remand for entry of summary judgment for client.
