Henson v. Henson

Feb 25, 2016

OUTCOME: Pending

Parties entered into a Consent Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage which provided equal time sharing of the parties' child. The time sharing anticipated that Father would relocate with the milit ... ary, and then in that case, the parties would continue to attempt equal time sharing. The Father relocated, as anticipated, and the Mother sought a modification of time sharing. The Court found that there had been a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances, and modified time sharing. Father hired me to appeal on the grounds that the court abused its discretion in finding the change to be unanticipated. Appeal is pending at this time.

Hooks v. Quaintance, 36 FLW D2217 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011)

Jan 01, 2011

OUTCOME: Affirmed with opinion

Mr. Wilkerson represented the Appellee/Mother in defense against Appellant/Father's Petition to Disestablish Paternity. Trial Court granted Mr. Wilkerson's Motion to Dismiss on the grounds that petiti ... oner did not allege â€œnewly discovered evidenceâ€. In this case, the alleged Father knew there was 50% chance he was not father when paternity established. Newly discovered evidence is evidence that by due diligence could not have been discovered in time to more for a new trial or rehearing. Here because alleged father did not challenge paternity initially, he lost chance to disestablish, even though he has a DNA test that proves he is not the biological father. The 1st DCA agreed with the Trial Court, and went on to hold that a DNA test in and of itself is not 'newly discovered evidence'.
