LOGUE, J.
Frank A. Futernick and Karen Beber appeal from a final judgment in favor
of Natalia M. Trushina, which ordered Futernick and Beber to specifically perform
on their obligations under a contract with Trushina for the sale of their former
marital home. Futernick and Beber assert that the trial court erred in enforcing the
contract because Futernick had a right of first refusal pursuant to Futernick and
Beber’s marital settlement agreement. Because the contract for sale did not
incorporate Futernick and Beber’s marital settlement agreement, and because, in
any event, Futernick did not comply with the conditions for exercising his right of
first refusal, we affirm. See Andersen Windows, Inc. v. Hochberg,
997 So. 2d
1212, 1214 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (“Courts, without dispute, are not authorized to
rewrite clear and unambiguous contracts.”). We also affirm, without discussion,
the issue raised on cross-appeal.
