Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Addison v. Florida Dep’t of Revenue, 322 So. 3d 230, 230–31 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021) (“Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (holding that on appeal, decision of lower tribunal ‘has the presumption of correctness,’ appellant bears burden ‘to demonstrate error,’ and ‘the lack of a trial transcript or a proper substitute’ forecloses reversal); Lafaille v. Lafaille, 837 So. 2d 601, 604 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003) (explaining that lower tribunal’s findings and final judgment ‘cannot be disturbed absent a record demonstrating reversible error,’ and that appellant has burden to present reviewing court ‘with an adequate record to support his appeal’); Moore v. Moore, 512 So. 2d 1141, 1141 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987) (affirming child support determination because record did not ‘contain a transcript of the hearing resulting in the order appealed’ nor statement of evidence or proceedings pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.200(b)).”).
