PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Sordo v. Camblin,
130 So. 3d 743, 744 (Fla. 3d DCA
2014) (“We review a trial court's modification of timesharing for an abuse of
discretion, and we must affirm if the trial court's order is supported by
competent substantial evidence”); Lewis v. Juliano,
242 So. 3d 1146, 1148
(Fla. 4th DCA 2018) (“A trial court’s ruling on a timesharing issue is reviewed
for an abuse of discretion”). See also Empire World Towers, LLC v. CDR
Creances, S.A.S.,
89 So. 3d 1034 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012) (holding trial court’s
adoption of party’s proposed order “did not run afoul of” Perlow v. Berg-
Perlow,
875 So. 2d 383 (Fla. 2004), noting there were no inconsistencies
between the adopted order and the trial court’s earlier oral pronouncement
and the other party was provided a meaningful opportunity to offer comments
or objections); Dickson v. Curtis, No. 3D21-1086,
2022 WL 385929 at *3 (Fla.
3d DCA Feb. 9, 2022) (holding trial court did not delegate its decision-making
authority by adopting a party’s proposed order, and noting that Perlow “did
not prohibit a trial judge from adopting verbatim the proposed order of one
of the parties,” but did “caution that a party’s proposed order ‘cannot
substitute for a thoughtful and independent analysis of the facts, issues, and
law by the trial judge’”) (quoting Perlow,
875 So. 2d at 390).
