_____________________________
PETER A. J. LIGGATT,
Appellant,
v.
SUSANNE V. LIGGATT,
Appellee.
_____________________________
Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.130 from the Circuit Court for Orange County.
Alicia Peyton Robinson, Judge.
September 4, 2026
PER CURIAM.
Peter Liggatt (“Husband”) appeals a non-final order which granted to his wife,
Susanne Liggatt (“Wife”), “exclusive authority to retain a realtor and enter into a
listing agreement without the necessity of any signatures from the Husband.” We
recognize that Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3)(C)(ii), (iii)a.-c.
authorizes non-final appeals of orders that determine “the right to immediate
possession of property” and in family law matters that grant “a. the right to
immediate monetary relief; b. the rights or obligations of a party regarding child
custody or time-sharing parenting plan; or c. that a marital agreement is invalid in
its entirety.” This order, however, does not make such a determination. Although
Wife was given exclusive right to enter into a listing agreement, the order did not
give her the right to immediate possession of the property or otherwise exclude
Husband from the property, but only from the decision as to who the realtor will be
and the execution of the listing agreement. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for
lack of jurisdiction.
DISMISSED.
