District Court of Appeal of Florida March 25, 1981, No. 80-1179 (In re the Adoption of Serpe)

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a final judgment granting a stepfather’s petition for adoption over the objection of the child’s father. We reverse.

The child’s mother and father were divorced in 1974 and the mother was awarded custody. For several years thereafter the parties were involved in an active dispute over the father’s visitation rights with the child.
