Robert L. BURNS, Jr., Appellant, v. Valorie M. HOUK, Appellee.

James D. Tittle, of Tittle, Kairalla, & Logan, P.L., West Palm Beach, for Appellant. Mark S. Peters, of Eisenmenger, Blaue & Peters, P.A., Viera, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

James D. Tittle, of Tittle, Kairalla, & Logan, P.L., West Palm Beach, for Appellant.

Mark S. Peters, of Eisenmenger, Blaue & Peters, P.A., Viera, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM. Robert L. Burns, Jr., appeals the order denying his motion to temporarily suspend a timesharing plan and finding him in contempt of court for violating the plan. We affirm in all respects, with one exception. Because the contempt order awards attorney's fees but does not determine the amount of fees, judicial labor has not ended, and the order is not ripe for review. Accordingly, this Court is without jurisdiction to review the order on contempt, and we therefore dismiss the appeal as to this issue. See Nathanson v. Rishyko , 140 So. 3d 1054, 1055 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) ; Rushing v. Rushing , 132 So. 3d 923 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014).

AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART.

EISNAUGLE and SASSO, JJ., and TAKAC, M., Associate Judge, concur.
