IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED ALAN JOHNSON, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Case No. 5D13-1587 INGRID ALICIA JOHNSON, Appellee/ Cross-Appellant. ________________________________/ Opinion filed July 3, 2014 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Lake County, G. Richard Singeltary, Judge. Jeffrey W. Appellant. Wiggs, Tavares, for Brandon M. Tyson, of Keedy & Burnette, P.A., Tavares, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Alan Johnson, the former husband, appeals the Order on Attorney s Fees rendered by the trial court awarding the former wife, Ingrid Johnson, fees in the underlying dissolution of marriage action. We affirm without discussion as to the issues raised by the former husband. The former wife filed a cross-appeal alleging: 1) that the attorney s fees awarded to her were less than one-third of the fees she actually incurred; and 2) the trial court erred in concluding that it did not have jurisdiction to award her fees for a motion she filed relating to her Petition to Relocate. We affirm as to the first issue raised in the cross-appeal concerning the amount of fees awarded. However, as to the second issue, the trial court did have jurisdiction to award fees for the matter relating to the Petition to Relocate, so we reverse that part of the order under review and remand this case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED. TORPY, C.J., SAWAYA and LAWSON, JJ., concur. 2
