Pifer v. Pifer

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Dec 13, 1972
270 So. 2d 43 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1972)

Opinion

No. 72-208.

December 13, 1972.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Charlotte County; Charles T. Carlton, Judge.

Charles J. Cheves, Jr., of Hazen, Isphording, Hazen Cheves, Venice, for appellant.

Archie M. Odom, of Farr, Farr, Haymans, Moseley Odom, Punta Gorda, for appellee.


The amount ordered for support of these parties' five children is not unreasonable, but the award of attorney's fees is predicated upon evidence which clearly takes into account work done by appellee's lawyers on matters unrelated to the present case, and should be reconsidered by the trial judge. See Scanlon v. Scanlon, Fla.App. 1st 1963, 154 So.2d 899.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

PIERCE, C.J., and MANN and McNULTY, JJ., concur.
