Yearty v. Tubbs
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 24, 1995 · Benton, Ervin, Miner
652 So. 2d 1292; 1995 Fla. App. LEXIS 4213; 1995 WL 234706 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Yearty v. Tubbs

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

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 *1293lower 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.
