D. L. v. Dept. of Children & Families

DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT In the Interest of A.L., G.L., H.L., M.L., N.L., T.L., and N.L., children. D.L., Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee, and GUARDIAN AD LITEM PROGRAM, Appellee/Cross-Appellant. No. 2D21-1884 February 4, 2022 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Lee County; Carolyn D. Swift, Judge. Thomas J. Butler of Thomas J. Butler, P.A., Miami Beach; and Clay W. Oberhausen, Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, Sarasota, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee. Meredith K. Hall, Children's Legal Services, Bradenton, for Appellee Department of Children and Families. Laura J. Lee and Sara Elizabeth Goldfarb, Statewide Guardian ad Litem Office, Tallahassee, for Appellee/Cross-Appellant Guardian ad Litem Program. KHOUZAM, Judge. We affirm the judgment on appeal terminating D.L.'s parental rights. Because D.L. does not demonstrate reversible error in her main appeal, we need not and do not reach the Guardian ad Litem Program's additional arguments in support of termination that it raises in its cross-appeal. Affirmed. KELLY and LABRIT, JJ., Concur. __________________________ Opinion subject to revision prior to official publication. 2
