NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DETERMINED IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT ELYSSA A. STREET, Appellant, v. DAVID A. STREET, Appellee. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. 2D19-4625 Opinion filed December 23, 2020. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Collier County; John O. McGowan, Judge. Raymond J. Rafool and David R. Hazouri of Rafool, LLC, Miami, for Appellant. Mark V. Silverio and Cynthia B. Hall of Silverio & Hall, P.A., Naples, for Appellee. VILLANTI, Judge. Elyssa Street (the Former Wife) appeals the final judgment for attorneys' fees and costs entered in the dissolution action against David A. Street (the Former Husband). After a thorough review of the extensive record on appeal and consideration of the arguments made during oral argument, we find no error in the rulings actually made by the trial court. However, as the Former Husband properly concedes, the trial court did err by not awarding the Former Wife prejudgment interest on the attorney's fee award from the date the trial court found that she was entitled to such an award until the date the fee judgment was rendered. See Quality Engineered Installation, Inc. v. Higley S., Inc., 670 So. 2d 929, 930-31 (Fla. 1996). Therefore, we reverse the fee judgment only to the extent that it does not include such an award, and we remand for the trial court to determine and award the amount of prejudgment interest to which the Former Wife is entitled. In all other respects, the final judgment for attorney's fees and costs is affirmed. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with instructions. CASANUEVA and LABRIT, JJ., Concur. -2-
