IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA JILLENE KAY WIELE f/k/a Jillene Kay Kadzis, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED Appellant, v. CASE NO. 1D05-2739 GEORGE J. KADZIS, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed December 14, 2005. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County. Janet E. Ferris, Judge. Bruce A. Leinback and Jennifer L. Johnson, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Christopher B. Norris and Anthony L. Bajoczky of Bajoczky & Fournier, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. We affirm the order determining that the trial court possessed jurisdiction over the appellant. Proceedings to modify the amount of alimony awarded pursuant to a divorce decree are supplemental to the original proceedings and, consequently, the trial court retains jurisdiction over the parties. See Stickney v. Stickney, 377 So. 2d 187 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979)( Timely proceedings to increase the amount of alimony awarded by a judgment in a dissolution of marriage action are supplemental to the judgment and are merely a continuation of the original proceedings. The parties having been properly brought within the jurisdiction of the trial court at the outset, the modification proceedings may be brought on a reasonable notice which affords an opportunity to be heard. ). AFFIRMED. KAHN, C.J., BROWNING and HAWKES, JJ., CONCUR. 2
