Full title: FRANCINA PACE, APPELLANT, v. LARRY PACE, APPELLEE

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District

Date published: Jul 2, 1985

471 So. 2d 680 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1985)

Opinion

No. 84-2778.

July 2, 1985.

Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court of Dade County; Seymour Gelber, Judge.

Melvin A. Rubin, Miami, for appellant.

No appearance for appellee.

Before HUBBART, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

The order under review is reversed upon the authority of Sweetland v. Gauntlett, 460 So.2d 570 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), and authorities collected therein. The law is well-settled that a trial court may not modify a prior child support award where, as here, no pleading has been filed requesting such modification.

Reversed.
