Ramirez v. Ramirez

District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Opinion of the CourtStevenson, J.

In this dissolution proceeding, appellant, Gustavo Ramirez, challenges a non-final order finding him in contempt and ordering incarceration as a sanction for failing to make support payments to appellee, Diana Ramirez, pursuant to a previously-entered temporary relief order.
