Nance Carol GOULDING, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Jason Ross GOULDING, Appellee/Cross-Appellant.
Nance Carol Goulding (the Former Wife) appeals and Jason Ross Goulding (the Former Husband) cross-appeals the postdissolution order that resolves various motions for contempt filed by the parties and denies the supplemental petition for modification of the final dissolution judgment filed by the Former Husband.
On appeal, we affirm without comment the portion of the order that denies the Former Wife's motion for contempt and grants the Former Husband's motion for contempt. We dismiss the appeal, however, to the extent that it challenges the portion of the order requiring the Former Wife to pay to the Former Husband attorney's fees and costs incurred in connection with his motion for contempt. See Cancellari v. Rance, 779 So. 2d 373, 374 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000) ("Although the order establishes entitlement to fees and costs, it does not set the amount. Consequently, it is a nonfinal, nonappealable order and we lack jurisdiction to review it." (citing Ritter v. Ritter, 690 So. 2d 1372, 1376 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997))). On cross-appeal, we affirm without comment the portion of the order that denies the Former Husband's supplemental petition for modification.
Order affirmed in part; appeal dismissed in part.
