Opinion

No. 82-2303.

June 28, 1983.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Dade County; David L. Levy, Judge.

Jerry A. Burns, in pro. per.

Dubbin, Berkman, Dubbin Greenfield and Evan Langbein, Miami, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and DANIEL S. PEARSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court's order which increased the respondent-father's child support obligation upon a holding that there is no evidence in the record to justify the award.

We find the award of attorney's fees to the wife to be excessive and, on remand, direct the trial court to reduce the fees by at least fifty percent.

Reversed and remanded with directions.
