Wineglass v. Wineglass

48 So. 3d 1003, 2010 Fla. App. LEXIS 18336, 2010 WL 4903795

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Johnny Wineglass appeals, pro se, from a final judgment of dissolution of marriage, challenging the alimony amount of $150.00 per month which he is required to pay his former wife for a period of ten years. The final judgment was entered pursuant to a mediated settlement agreement in which Wineglass agreed to make the monthly $150.00 alimony payments. Because the final judgment was lawfully entered in accordance with Wineglass’s own agreement, he is not entitled to any relief on appeal. Cf. Petracca v. Petracca, 706 So.2d 904, 911 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (“Obviously under Florida’s common law, it is ordinarily not the province of judges to say whether a voluntary agreement is fair to one of the contracting parties. Courts are obligated to uphold even hard or bad bargains freely made without fraud or coercion, so long as they are not against public policy.”). Additionally, we note that we are not permitted to consider the non-record facts that Wineglass attempts to present in support of his argument on appeal. See Brayton v. Brayton, 46 So.3d 142, n. 1 (Fla. 5th DCA 2010).

AFFIRMED.
