Before EMAS, LINDSEY and GORDO, JJ.

     GORDO, J.



                      ON CONCESSION OF ERROR
        The Department of Children and Families’ concedes the trial court

failed to address the requisite statutory factors in its determination of indigent

status of the Mother. 1 Without the trial court’s written consideration of the

factors pursuant to section 27.52(4), Florida Statutes, this Court cannot

properly conduct appellate review of the order on appeal.

        Reversed and remanded.

    We express no opinion as to the trial court’s final determination.
