Suzanna LEIPER, Appellant, v. Edwards LEIPER, Appellee.

Kathleen K. Peña, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant. Terrence P. O'Connor of Morgan, Carratt & O'Connor, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.


Kathleen K. Peña, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Terrence P. O'Connor of Morgan, Carratt & O'Connor, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.

Per Curiam.

The former wife appeals the trial court's amended supplemental final judgment which disposed of the modification and enforcement proceedings between the parties. We affirm, without opinion, all issues raised in the former wife's appeal except the determination of entitlement to attorney's fees. The trial court determined entitlement to attorney's fees but did not ascertain the amount. An order that determines the entitlement but not the amount of attorney's fees is unripe for appellate review. E.g. , Fredrickson v. Fredrickson , 47 So. 3d 975, 975 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010) ; Weimer v. Weimer , 677 So. 2d 86, 88 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996). Thus, while we affirm all other issues raised in this appeal, we dismiss without prejudice the appeal of the trial court's determination of entitlement to attorney's fees as premature.

Affirmed in part; dismissed in part.

Warner, Gerber and Artau, JJ., concur.
