Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 28, 1983 · Jorgenson, Pearson, Schwartz
433 So. 2d 660; 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 19779 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Burns v. Burns

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court’s order which increased the respondent-father’s child support obligation upon a holding that there is no evidence in the record to justify the award.

We find the award of attorney’s fees to the wife to be excessive and, on remand, direct the trial court to reduce the fees by at least fifty percent.

Reversed and remanded with directions.
