District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided October 11, 1990No. 90-134Published

1Opinion of the Court

GRIFFIN, Judge.

The order appealed, awarding $100.00 to the wife as attorneys fees for enforcement of the child support obligations of the husband, is reversed. This award was made without the required hearing or findings that would warrant an award of such a small percentage of the fees incurred. See, e.g., Bachman v. Bachman, 566 So.2d 19 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990).

REVERSED and REMANDED for determination of a reasonable attorney’s fee.
