705 So. 2d 721 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1998)

Summary

In Hester v. Hester, 705 So.2d 721 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), this court held that a child support guidelines worksheet attached to a final judgment may, in the absence of other evidence of record, constitute a sufficient evidentiary basis to sustain an award of child support.

Opinion

Case No. 97-988

Opinion Filed February 20, 1998 JANUARY TERM 1998

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Brevard County, Frank R. Pound, Jr., Judge.

Christopher Scott Hester, Jacksonville, pro se.

M.K. Poe, of Poe Poe, P.A., Melbourne, for Appellee.


In the absence of a record of the final hearing on November 20, 1996, there is no basis to reverse the appealed judgment on evidentiary grounds. The child support guidelines worksheet attached to the judgment has sufficient information to allow review of the guidelines calculation, and we find no error. It does appear that interest should be calculated on arrearages from May 11, 1997, not May 1, 1997. We herewith amend the judgment to correct this error. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED.

SHARP, W. and HARRIS, JJ., concur.
