From the Daily Business Review at Law.com:
“The opinion urges judges to avoid terminating parental rights for late appearances or no-shows if the parent made “a reasonable effort” to attend…The Fourth District Court of Appeal brought good news for a father who lost custody of his child after arriving 50 minutes late to a hearing, issuing an opinion that said motions to vacate the termination of parental rights should be ‘liberally granted.'”
