MENDOZA v. CURBELO (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Adriana Monica MENDOZA, Appellant, v. Tomas CURBELO, Appellee.

No. 3D20-1472

Decided: July 28, 2021

Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and HENDON and GORDO, JJ.

Hasbun & Mendoza, PLLC and Maribel Mendoza, for appellant. Perez-Abreu & Martin-Lavielle, P.A., and Andy W. Acosta and Javier Perez-Abreu, for appellee.

Adriana Monica Mendoza, the Mother, appeals from a September 2020 supplemental final judgment modifying parental responsibility, timesharing, and child support in favor of Tomas Curbelo, the Father. We dismiss that portion of the Mother's appeal (paragraph w. of the order on appeal) without prejudice to the filing of an appeal following entry of an order fixing the amount of attorney's fees and costs. Sejas v. Paredes, 315 So. 3d 128 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (holding a mere finding of entitlement to attorney's fees and costs is a non-final, non-appealable order). We affirm the remainder of the order on appeal. Sordo v. Camblin, 130 So. 3d 743, 744 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014) (“We review a trial court's modification of timesharing for an abuse of discretion, and we must affirm if the trial court's order is supported by competent substantial evidence.”).

Affirmed in part, dismissed in part.

HENDON, J.
