IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA
AMANDA CUDWORTH, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO
FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND
Appellant, DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED
v. CASE NO. 1D17-100
JOSEPH TROZZO,
Appellee.
/
Opinion filed October 16, 2017.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
Kevin J. Carroll, Judge.
Emilian "Ian" Bucataru, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Thomas Duggar and Daniel I. Phillips of Duggar & Duggar, P.A., Tallahassee, for
Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
Amanda Cudworth challenges the trial court’s order on motion for sanctions
and motion for enforcement that required her to pay $1,453.82 in un-reimbursed
expenses and $220 in band fees and that awarded Joseph Trozzo attorney’s fees for
pursing the enforcement action. We reverse.
The trial court relied on a spreadsheet entered into evidence by Trozzo when
determining the amounts that Cudworth was required to pay. However, the attached
documentation failed to support the amounts listed in the spreadsheet. Moreover,
many of the expenses should not have been considered because they were incurred
prior to Trozzo seeking a child support order. See Cordell v. Cordell,
30 So. 3d 647,
649 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010). Thus, the trial court abused its discretion by granting the
motion for enforcement. We also reverse the award of attorney’s fees as Trozzo
should not have prevailed on this motion for enforcement.
We, therefore, REVERSE the order on appeal.
B.L. THOMAS, C.J., and LEWIS and ROWE, JJ., CONCUR.
