District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

February 14, 2014.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ita M. Neymotin , Regional Counsel, and Joseph Thye Sexton , Assistant Regional Counsel, Bartow, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, and Meredith Hall , Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee Department of Children and Family Services.

Jennifer S. Paullin , Sanford, for Appellee Guardian Ad Litem Program.


WALLACE, Judge.

A.C., the Father, appeals an order placing three of his minor children into a permanent guardianship. Although we conclude that the trial court's decision to place the children in a permanent guardianship is supported by competent, substantial evidence, the order on appeal fails to contain or to reference the detailed findings required by section 39.6221(2)(a), Florida Statutes (2012). See J.S. v. Dep't of Children & Family Servs.,
