Lovett v. Lovett

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Feb 8, 1967
194 So. 2d 916 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1967)

Opinion

No. 6812.

February 8, 1967.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Sumter County, Carroll W. Fussell, J.

Frank McClung, Brooksville, for appellant.

David A. Davis, Bushnell, for appellee.


This is an appeal from a final decree of divorce, granted to the appellee-husband. Appellant contends that a divorce should not have been granted to the husband, but that her complaint for separate maintenance should have been granted. She also challenges the adequacy of the allowance of alimony and child support. The evidence was in conflict on all of these issues. Since the appellant has failed to clearly show that the chancellor abused his discretion, the decree appealed from is affirmed. Frazier v. Frazier, Fla.App. 1966, 191 So.2d 865; Lauray v. Lauray, Fla.App. 1966, 181 So.2d 670; and Clutter v. Clutter, Fla.App. 1965, 171 So.2d 544.

The appellant's attorney has petitioned this court for attorney fees for services rendered before this court, which we grant in the sum of Three Hundred ($300.00) Dollars.

LILES, J., and LEAVENGOOD, C. RICHARD, Associate Judge, concur.
