District Court of Appeal of Florida March 3, 2010, 4D08-4152 (Colarusso v. Lupetin)

WARNER, J.

The trial court summarily denied appellant’s motion to dissolve a permanent injunction for domestic violence entered in January 2005 in favor of his then girlfriend. We reverse on the authority of

Betterman v. Kukelhan,

977 So.2d 702 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), in which we held that the summary denial of a motion to vacate a protective injunction violated due process requirements.
