No. 4D05-135.
January 4, 2006.
Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Edward A. Garrison, Judge; L.T. Case No. 502000DR009412XXDIF.
Joel M. Weissman of Weissman Yaffa, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Jeffrey D. Fisher and Georgia T. Newman of Fisher Bendeck, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Philip M. Burlington of Burlington Rockenbach, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
We reverse an order holding appellant in contempt for failing to pay alimony which he had been ordered to pay. We do not agree with appellant's argument that a stay had been in effect; however, we do agree with appellant that he was not given an opportunity to be heard, which requires reversal. Hipschman v. Cochran, 683 So.2d 209 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996).
POLEN, KLEIN and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
