Salisbury v. Salisbury

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Mar 22, 1990
557 So. 2d 156 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 89-476.

February 15, 1990. Rehearing Denied March 22, 1990.

An appeal from the Duval County Circuit Court; A.C. Soud, Jr., Judge.

Hal Castillo, of Lewis, Paul, Isaac Castillo, P.A., Jacksonville, for appellant.

David B. Ferebee, Jacksonville, for appellee.


Having concluded that the record contains competent substantial evidence to support (1) the trial court's finding that the former husband possesses the present ability to pay court ordered obligations but wilfully refuses to do so, and (2) the trial court's denial of the former husband's petition to modify alimony and child support payments, we affirm the trial court's order appealed from.

SMITH and MINER, JJ., concur.

ZEHMER, J., dissents with opinion.


This is an appeal from an order granting the former wife's motion to hold the former husband in contempt and an order denying the former husband's motion to modify alimony and child support. Since I cannot discern the factual basis for the trial court's decision with sufficient clarity to determine whether or not reversible error occurred, I would reverse and remand for more specific findings of fact.
