Opinion

The former husband appeals from the circuit courts final judgment of dissolution of marriage, which determined equitable distribution, child support, and alimony. The former husband argues the circuit court erred in three respects, by: (1) making improper and unsupported equitable distribution findings; (2) making erroneous alimony and child support calculations; and (3) finding the former wife was entitled to an attorneys fees award against the former husband.

On the first two arguments, we affirm without further discussion. On the third argument, we lack jurisdiction because the circuit court had not determined the fees award amount before the former husband filed this appeal. See Perini v. Perini, 322 So. 3d 124, 125 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021) (“The trial courts order determines entitlement to the attorneys fees but does not ascertain the amount. An order for attorneys fees that determines the entitlement but not the amount is unripe for appellate review. Thus, we dismiss without prejudice the appeal of this issue as premature.”) (citations omitted).

Affirmed in part, dismissed in part.
