IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT JULY TERM 2013 NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED LILLIAN T. OKPALEKE-ORTIZ, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D12-4221 CARLOS C. ORTIZ, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed November 22, 2013 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Sally D.M. Kest, Judge. Joseph J. Registrato, Tampa, for Appellant. Christopher H. Morrison, of Pratt and Morrison, P.A., Winter Park, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. The magistrate s detailed findings of fact, which were adopted in their entirety by the trial court, were supported by competent substantial evidence. Trial courts are vested with discretion in determining an appropriate time-sharing arrangement between competing parents. Once a trial court makes this determination, an appellate court should not overturn that decision absent a clear abuse of discretion. Lowrey v. Lee, 873 So. 2d 604, 605 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). Here, we find no abuse of discretion. AFFIRMED. GRIFFIN, EVANDER, and COHEN, JJ., concur.
