IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED DENISE COLLINS, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D15-1885 DWAYNE COLLINS, SR., Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed April 1, 2016 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Lake County, Mark J. Hill, Judge. Brandon M. Tyson, of Tyson Law Firm, LLC, Altamonte Springs, for Appellant. Paul W. Darby and Thomas Holden, of Holden & Darby, P.A., Tavares, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Denise Collins appeals a final judgment of dissolution of marriage that provided, inter alia, for her former husband to have sole parental responsibility on decisions relating to the parties’ minor children’s education and medical care. Although we conclude that the trial court’s factual findings support its decision, we remand the case because the final judgment failed to include a specific finding that shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the children. See Henderson v. Henderson, 162 So. 3d 203, 207 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015). The final judgment is otherwise affirmed. AFFIRMED, IN PART; REVERSED, IN PART; REMANDED. ORFINGER, EVANDER and COHEN, JJ., concur. 2
