Yearty v. Tubbs

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Apr 24, 1995
652 So. 2d 1292 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1995)

Opinion

No. 94-2374.

April 24, 1995.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County; John Crusoe, Judge.

David B. Lee, Jr., Orange Park, for appellant.

Patricia B. Fournier and Scott A. Snavely of Bajoczky Fournier, Tallahassee, for appellee.


We affirm the award of prospective and retrospective child support. We reverse and remand the order awarding attorney's fees. Although there is adequate record evidence to support an award of attorney's fees, the order is deficient for its failure to contain specific findings of fact. On remand the lower court should hold an evidentiary hearing for the purpose of determining a reasonable fee consistent with the guidelines set forth in Florida Patient's Compensation Fund v. Rowe, 472 So.2d 1145 (Fla. 1985).

ERVIN, MINER and BENTON, JJ., concur.
