Hofschneider v. Hofschneider
Hofschneider v. Hofschneider
Opinion
Gregory Hofschneider, the Former Husband, appeals an order holding him in *88 indirect civil contempt entered during the pendency of Lauri S. Hofschneider’s petition to modify the final judgment of dissolution. The contempt order required the Former Husband to pay $100 for each day he failed to comply with a prior order of the court. Such an order is nonfinal and not appealable but is reviewable via certiorari. See Jackson v. Jackson, 98 So.3d 112, 113-14 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012); Knorr v. Knorr, 751 So.2d 64, 65 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999) (“[Pjrejudgment civil contempt orders are more properly reviewed by certio-rari.”). Accordingly, we convert this appeal to a petition for writ of certiorari. However, because Mr. Hofschneider has failed to establish that he has suffered a material injury that cannot be corrected on postjudgment appeal, we dismiss the petition. See Parkway Bank v. Fort Myers Armature Works, Inc., 658 So.2d 646, 648-49 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995).
Petition dismissed.
