Joseph v. Joseph

908 So. 2d 1151, 2005 Fla. App. LEXIS 12777, 2005 WL 1991786

Opinion

BROWNING, J.

The former husband, Richard W. Joseph, appeals the trial court’s final order of dismissal of his “Amendment to Additional Supplemental Petition to Modify Alimony Provisions of the Amended Final Judgment and Orders Related Thereto.” In Case No. 1D03-1510, the former husband appealed the dismissal of his previous petition to modify alimony. Concluding that the trial court was not jurisdictionally barred from considering the petition to modify under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.600(c) and, thus, had erred in dismissing it, we reversed and remanded for further proceedings. See Joseph v. Joseph, 881 So.2d 66 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004). The parties rightfully concede on appeal that Case No. 1D03-1510 controls the instant proceedings. We had not issued our decision, id., when the trial court issued the dismissal order now challenged by the former husband. Because the trial court had jurisdiction to consider the amended supplemental petition, we REVERSE the dismissal order and REMAND for further proceedings.

KAHN, C.J., and THOMAS, J., concur.
