Taylor v. Taylor

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1986-07-22

Relies on 377 So. 2d 1150 - Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee · Miller v. Colonial Baking Co. of Alabama · 453 So. 2d 1160 - Gibson v. Troxel

Decided 1986-07-22

PER CURIAM.

¶1Howard Taylor appeals from an order of the trial court adjudging him in contempt and sentencing him to one weekend in the Dade County Jail for having physically assaulted his former wife. He also appeals from a final judgment awarding the former wife attorneys' fees incurred in the prosecution of her contempt motion.

¶2We affirm the contempt conviction and sentence entered thereon. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150 (Fla.1979). We reverse the attorneys’ fee award since there is no statutory basis to sustain it. See Gibson v. Troxel, 453 So.2d 1160 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984); Miller v. Colonial Baking Co., 402 So.2d 1365 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981).

¶3Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
