Date published: Jan 17, 1990

550 So. 2d 496 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 88-1125.

October 11, 1989. Rehearing Denied November 17, 1989. Opinion Clarified January 17, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County; James R. Stewart, Jr., Judge.

Edna L. Caruso of Edna L. Caruso, P.A. and Montgomery, Searcy Denney, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Jane Kreusler-Walsh of Klein, Beranek Walsh, P.A. and Law Offices of Ronald Sales, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the order adjudicating appellant in contempt. See Kaylor v. Kaylor, 466 So.2d 1253, 1254 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985), rev. dismissed, 500 So.2d 530 (Fla. 1987). However, because it is conceivable that the amount of periodic alimony awarded to appellee could be affected by a decision of the Florida Supreme Court in Thompson v. Thompson, No. 74,419, we remand with direction to withhold enforcement of the contempt order, pending a decision therein. The husband's obligations pursuant to the trial court's final judgment are in no way altered by this decision.

ANSTEAD, GLICKSTEIN and WARNER, JJ., concur.
