Dent v. Dent
Dent v. Dent
450 So. 2d 327; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 13436
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Dent v. Dent
Opinion of the Court
Appellant/husband has failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion in awarding temporary attorney’s fees and, therefore, that portion of the order on appeal is affirmed. See Conner v. Conner, 439 So.2d 887 (Fla. 1983). The award of suit money, however, is not supported by substantial competent evidence and, consequently, the suit money award shall be reduced to $7,500. This reduction is without prejudice to the wife’s right to reapply to the trial court and produce evidence showing the necessity for additional suit money.
