Opinion
No. 98-1197
Opinion filed June 16, 1999.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Monroe County, Sandra Taylor, Judge, L.T. No. 98-20196.
Prentice Martin, in proper person.
No appearance for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and FLETCHER and SHEVIN, JJ.
After Ms. Martin had obtained a domestic violence restraining order against the appellee he secured the one on appeal against her. While we have some sympathy for the trial judge's apparent belief that it could do no harm to enter what, in effect, were mutual restraining orders, the one presently under review is not, as required, independently supported by the pertinent evidentiary requirements, see § 741.30(1)(i), Fla. Stat. (1997); Hixson v. Hixson, 698 So.2d 639 (Fla.4th DCA 1997), and is therefore
Reversed.
