Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 10, 2003 · Canady, Northcutt, Stringer
857 So. 2d 265; 2003 WL 22081365 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Skinner v. Department of Revenue ex rel. Skinner

Opinion of the Court

NORTHCUTT, Judge.

Charles Skinner, who is incarcerated in the Florida prison system, challenges the order denying his petition to modify his child support obligation. The Florida Supreme Court has recently stated the procedure to be followed in cases such as these. See Dep’t of Revenue v. Jackson, 846 So.2d 486 (Fla. 2003). Pursuant to Jackson, we reverse with instructions to the circuit court to hold Skinner’s petition in abeyance on its inactive calendar until his term of incarceration has ended.

Reversed and remanded with instructions.

STRINGER and CANADY, JJ., Concur.
