OUTCOME: Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
Ms. Augen represented Petitioner during a two day trial and in his appeal. The 4th DCA agreed with Ms. Augen that the trial judge failed to consider the impact of Petitioner's current children when ca ... lculating his child support obligation. The case was reversed in part and remanded to the trial court.
OUTCOME: Petition for Writ denied; 4th DCA wrote opinion based upon importance of issue.
Ms. Augen represented the Mother in her Writ of Certiorari to the 4th DCA. While the Writ was pending, the Mother consented to certain action in the trial court; therefore, the 4th DCA withheld issuan ... ce of the writ, but wrote an opinion as the matter was so important and capable of repetition. The 4th DCA agreed with Ms. Augen's legal argument that the parent has a right to be heard and to present evidence on the issue of probable cause at a shelter hearing.
