UIFSA Appeal Dismissed by First

The First District Court of Appeal dismissed yesterday in Brautcheck v. Pulkkinen, on the basis that the orders appealed did not dispose of the Petition, and were as such not appealable final orders.  The Appellant sought review of two orders she felt “tacitly” accepted the Appellee’s argument below that the lower tribunal lacked jurisdiction to modify a Michigan decree, but in fact the two orders respectively domesticated that decree, and granted protection from a discovery request until jurisdiction to modify was established.
