“"... We rule that a Trial Court may enter an interlocutory order granting a dissolution of marriage and therein reserve jurisdiction to later determine property rights. The Judgment of Dissolution remains interlocutory until such time as a Final Judgment of Dissolution is later entered determining all property rights and confirming the interlocutory judgment previously entered." 310 So.2d at 379 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"We believe that when circumstances warrant the trial court may exercise its discretion in entering an interlocutory dissolution and reserving jurisdiction to later determine property rights. Doing so may create problems requiring further judicial determination, but this is no ground for holding that jurisdiction does not exist. We believe the good to be accomplished outweighs any uncertainty created." 310 So.2d at 380 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"If, at any time, the court finds that the marriage is irretrievably broken, the court shall enter a judgment of dissolution of the marriage... ."”
