Opinion filed March 12, 2021.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas
County; Frederick L. Pollack, Judge.
Kelly A. Overfield and Ashley Brown of
Ayers Overfield, and Crowe, Attorneys at
Law, Tampa, (withdrew after briefing);
Daniel H. Crowe of Law Offices of Daniel H.
Crowe, P.A., (substituted as counsel of
record), Tampa, for Appellant.
Michael Buchholtz of The Law Office of
Michael Buchholtz, Saint Petersburg, for
Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the amended final judgment denying modification of alimony
and adjudicating Appellant in indirect civil contempt in all respects save one. The circuit
court's determination that Appellee was entitled to an award of attorney's fees, while
reserving jurisdiction as to the amount, is not an issue we can review. See Wolf v. Wolf,
296 So. 3d 479, 489 (Fla. 2d DCA 2020) ("An order that determines entitlement to
attorney's fees without a determination of the amount is a nonappealable, nonfinal
order."); Lockett v. Lockett, 235 So. 3d 1003, 1006 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017); McIlveen v.
McIlveen, 644 So. 2d 612, 612 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal
as to that issue.
Affirmed in part; dismissed in part.
