Winters v. Winters
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 12, 1985 · Bas, Hendry, Kin, Nesbitt
464 So. 2d 200; 10 Fla. L. Weekly 441; 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 12370 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Winters v. Winters

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The record before us sufficiently demonstrates that the trial court abused its discretion in requiring the husband to pay attorneys’ fees in an amount well beyond his financial ability. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for reconsideration of the award of attorneys’ fees in accordance with the relative financial needs and abilities of the parties. See Cummings v. Cummings, 330 So.2d 134 (Fla. 1976); Travieso v. Travieso, 447 So.2d 940 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).

Reversed and remanded.
