Williams v. Williams
Williams v. Williams
Opinion of the Court
Vernon Don Williams, former husband, petitioned the trial court to modify the final judgment which dissolved his marriage to Lonnie Elaine Williams and sought contempt sanctions. Former wife
Appellant moves this court to dismiss the appeal without prejudice, contending that a subsequent order issued by the trial court has rendered the earlier ruling interlocutory and not appealable. Appellant overlooks the fact that the order of February 6 was a final and appealable order insofar as it denied his petition for modification of the final judgment. Grafman v. Grafman, 488 So.2d 115 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986). The final order was rendered when rehearing was denied. Fla. R.App. P. 9.020(h)(1). Proceedings in the trial court relating to his former wife’s requests for enforcement of the final judgment do not affect the finality of the February 6 order or this court’s jurisdiction to review it.
MOTION DENIED.
