Levonda Marshae MINUS, Appellant, v. John BROCKMAN III, Appellee.

Jack B. Pugh of Pugh & Associates, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant. Steven Cripps of the Law Offices of Orsley & Cripps, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Jack B. Pugh of Pugh & Associates, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Steven Cripps of the Law Offices of Orsley & Cripps, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Levonda Minus, the mother, appeals a final judgment of paternity, raising four issues. We affirm two issues without comment. As to the remaining issues, we find that the trial court erred by failing to attach the child support guidelines worksheet to the final order and by failing to include a parenting plan in the record. The father concedes that these documents were omitted due to a scrivener's error.

An order granting child support must be reversed where a child support guidelines worksheet is not attached to the final judgment. Dep't of Rev. ex rel. K.A.N. v. A.N.J. , 165 So. 3d 846, 848 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015) ; Fla. Fam. L. R. P. 12.285(k). Reversal is also required in the absence of a parenting plan. Munroe v. Olibrice , 83 So. 3d 985, 987 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012). Although there is no transcript of the proceedings below, both errors appear on the face of the record. Sugrim v. Sugrim , 649 So. 2d 936, 937 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995).

According, we reverse and remand for the trial court to attach the child support guidelines worksheet to the final judgment and to supplement the record with a parenting plan. We affirm the remaining issues.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

Levine, Klingensmith and Kuntz, JJ., concur.
