IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA JUSTINA MARIE SHAFFER, Wife, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED Appellant/Cross-Appellee, CASE NO. 1D11-2576 v. ERIC MATTHEW SHAFFER, Husband, Appellee/Cross-Appellant. _____________________________/ Opinion filed March 02, 2012. An appeal and cross-appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. John Merrett, Judge. William Bruce Muench and Jonathan J. Luca of Muench & Luca, PLLC, Jacksonville, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee. Charles Furbish and Scott Ellerin of Ellerin Hutchinson, Jacksonville, for Appellee/Cross Appellant. PER CURIAM. The Order Denying Former Wife s Request for Attorney s Fees is AFFIRMED. The cross-appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Mendoza v. Mendoza, 842 So. 2d 1020, 1020 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003) (noting that a trial court s reservation of jurisdiction to award attorney s fees and costs at a later time does not affect the finality of the judgment itself for purposes of appeal and dismissing the former husband s appeal because while his notice of appeal was timely as to the attorney s fee order, it was untimely as to the underlying order, which is what he challenged). DAVIS, CLARK, and ROWE, JJ., CONCUR. 2
