District Court of Appeal of Florida

An order holding a former husband in contempt and providing for his incarceration without further notice or hearing if he did not pay arrears owed to his former wife within 30 days is reversed where the trial court abused its discretion as the order failed to satisfy the basic requirements for a finding of contempt.
