No. 4D10-5124.

62 So.3d 1241 (2011)

L.K., the Mother, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

June 15, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Patricia A. Gainer-Gaddis of Patricia A. Gainer-Gaddis, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Carolyn Schwarz , Assistant Attorney General, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.


POLEN, J.

Appellant, L.K., appeals the trial court's final order terminating her parental rights as to her daughter, G.B. We find that the trial court erred in terminating L.K.'s parental rights as to G.B. when the trial court excluded evidence that L.K. substantially complied with her case plan. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's determination and remand this case for further proceedings to allow the parties to offer additional testimony.
