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.

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