D.W., SR., the father, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

October 29, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Roger Ally of Law Offices of Roger Ally, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Bill McCollum , Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Carolyn Schwarz , Assistant Attorney General, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.

Hillary Kambour , Tavares, for Guardian Ad Litem Program.


PER CURIAM.

As appellee concedes, the circuit court relied on inadmissible hearsay (the mother's out-of-court statements), in entering an order adjudicating the children to be dependent as to the father. We reverse that order and remand to the circuit court for a new dependency hearing.
