¶1*422 Paul H. Bass, Coral Gables, for appellant.
¶2Abrams & Etter, and Brenda Abrams, Miami, and Andy W. Acosta, for appellee.
¶3Before NESBITT, LEVY and SORONDO, JJ.
¶4PER CURIAM.
¶5George Abraham, husband, appeals the lower court's Order Awarding Temporary Relief to Sherrie Lleo Abraham, wife.
¶6The husband and wife have been married three years and have a three year old child. The husband is wealthy and the couple have lived an affluent lifestyle. In the order being appealed the trial judge awarded the wife temporary support in an amount which equals approximately 87% of the husband's net monthly income. The court refused to identify which portion of the award was for child support and which was intended to be temporary alimony. The court also refused to apply the child support guidelines to establish the amount of temporary child support. Burkhart v. Burkhart,620 So.2d 225 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993)(child support guidelines are applicable to temporary support awards). Additionally, the lower court granted attorney's fees to the wife for services rendered by her lawyers in a domestic violence proceeding which was filed and litigated before the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage was filed in this case,[1] granted prospective attorney's fees and ordered the husband to pay in excess of $60,000.00 in outstanding bills submitted by the wife.
¶7We conclude that the trial judge abused his discretion in making these awards and reverse the order under review in its entirety. We remand to the trial court for a total reconsideration of the issue of temporary support.
¶8Reversed and remanded.
