PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See King v. King, 363 So. 3d 1099, 1101 (Fla. 4th
DCA 2023) (Holding that “a judgment need not be reversed solely
because a trial court adopts a proposed order verbatim.” Instead,
there are various factors to be considered by an appellate court in
determining whether a judgment reflects a trial judge’s
independent decision-making).
BILBREY, KELSEY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
