First DCA Affirms Sanction for Parental Responsibility Violation

The First District Court of Appeal ruled today in Sabatini v. Wigh, affirming the lower court’s finding of contempt of shared parental responsibility against the appellant for changing a minor child’s school without agreement.  However, the First District reversed the lower court’s order which essentially gave the Appellee discretion to choose whether to return the child to the original school choice, especially in light of testimony from the Appellee that the child’s best interest would not be served by such a decision.
