DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT July Term 2005 TRISTA ELAN ROBINSON-WILSON, Appellant, v. PRESTON J.R. WILSON, IV, Appellee. No. 4D05-312 [November 30, 2005] PER CURIAM. The circuit court found that the Former Wife was in contempt for intentionally and maliciously interfering with the Former Husband s visitation with his daughter. The court found that Former Wife did whatever she could to stifle and complicate the father-daughter relationship and turned what should be a sprint into a hurdle race by making the Former Husband jump over hoops and sign papers. The court determined that the Former Husband was denied visitation with his daughter, based on conduct of the Former Wife, who went out of her way to interfere and deny timesharing between the Former Husband and his daughter. The court ordered the Former Wife to pay $11,307.50 in attorney s fees and $960.35 toward the Former Husband s costs. The trial court s findings are amply supported by the record. There is a great disparity between the incomes of the parties. Nonetheless, the award of attorney s fees and costs is proper under Rosen v. Rosen, 696 So. 2d 697, 700 (Fla. 1997), and Baker v. Green, 732 So. 2d 6, 7 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). We note that the Former Wife s failure to provide a transcript of the December 2, 2004 attorney s fee hearing has limited appellate review. By a separate order, we grant the Former Husband s motion for appellate attorney s fees. Affirmed. GUNTHER, GROSS and HAZOURI, JJ., concur. * * * Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Lawrence L. Korda, Judge; L.T. Case No. 0213869(41)(93). Michelle A.
