District Court of Appeal of Florida

A judgment finding a former husband in indirect criminal contempt for consistently and willfully failing to comply with the terms of a final judgment and amended final judgment of dissolution is reversed where the trial court erred in "amending" a final judgment of contempt by changing its nature from a civil contempt to an indirect criminal contempt.
