Mourra v. Mourra
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 19, 1993 · Goderich, Jorgenson, Schwartz
622 So. 2d 1358; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 8824; 1993 WL 320099 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Mourra v. Mourra

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The order under review finding the appellant in civil contempt and committing him to prison because of his failure to make past due alimony and child support payments is vacated because the record does not support the conclusion, which is indispensable to the validity of such an order, that he has the ability to pay the amount required to purge himself of contempt. Bowen v. Bowen, 471 So.2d 1274 (Fla. 1985).
