Opinion

Jeffrey Charles challenges several orders on appeal which we affirm, with the exception of the Final Judgment of Paternity entered on March 17, 2016. Because Charless appeal of the paternity judgment is untimely, we dismiss the portions of the appeal relating to that judgment. See Calicchio v. Calicchio, 693 So. 2d 1124, 1124 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997) (a contemnor cannot use an order finding him or her in contempt as a back door to challenging the propriety of the unappealed underlying order). AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART.
