JOHNSTON III v. JOHNSTON (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Albert B. JOHNSTON, III, Appellant, v. Tanya JOHNSTON, Appellee.

Case No. 5D18-2458

Decided: September 13, 2019

Elizabeth C. King, Rice Law Firm, P.A., Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Douglas A. Kneller and Therese Misita Truelove, of IFloridaDivorce.com, LLC, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

We affirm without comment the final judgment dissolving the marriage of Albert B. Johnston, III (“Former Husband”) and Tanya Johnston (“Former Wife”) with one exception. The trial court determined Former Wife has the need and Former Husband has the ability to pay a portion of Former Wife's attorney's fees. However, the court only determined entitlement but did not determine the amount of attorney's fees in the final judgment. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to review that portion of the final judgment. See McGee v. McGee, 264 So. 3d 1087, 1089 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019).

AFFIRMED in part and DISMISSED in part.

PER CURIAM.

EVANDER, C.J., ORFINGER and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.
