Wood v. Wood

Full title: DAVID A. WOOD, APPELLANT, v. LORRAINE WOOD, N/K/A LORRAINE WOOD DONOVAN…

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

Date published: Jan 8, 1992

590 So. 2d 1136 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 90-1263.

January 8, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Robert Lance Andrews, Judge.

Miles J. Gopman, Miami, for appellant.

Lorraine Donovan, pro se.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the Final Judgment of Modification in all respects save one. The order increased child support to a date prior to the filing of the modification petition. This is error. See Fotorny v. Fotorny, 397 So.2d 329 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981); Berger v. Berger, 559 So.2d 737 (Fla. 5th DCA 1990). We therefore remand to correct the judgment to award retroactive increased child support to a date not earlier than the filing of the petition.

LETTS, STONE and WARNER, JJ., concur.
