523 So. 2d 1224 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

Nos. 87-3203, 87-3204.

April 13, 1988. Rehearing Denied May 19, 1988.

Consolidated appeals of non-final orders from the Circuit Court for St. Lucie County; William G. Tye, Acting Circuit Judge.

Osborne Walker O'Quinn, Fort Pierce, for appellants.

Jacqueline L. Russakis, Fort Pierce, for appellees.


We affirm the orders at issue herein because we do not believe the appellants have demonstrated an abuse of discretion. Notwithstanding our affirmance we caution trial judges to be certain that child support orders are properly enforced even during the pendency of an action for modification by the parent obligated to make support payments. Children should not be deprived of support from a parent able to pay even during the pendency of a modification proceeding.

ANSTEAD, DELL and STONE, JJ., concur.
