Poe v. Poe

District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Opinion of the CourtPolen, C.J.

Steven Poe appeals the circuit court’s post-judgment order finding him in contempt for failure to pay alimony and awarding his wife her attorney’s fees in connection with said proceeding. We affirm without comment the lower court’s contempt finding and its order requiring the immediate incarceration of Mr. Poe, until such contempt was purged by the payment of his support arrearages in full. We also affirm the lower court’s award of the wife’s attorney’s fees as an appropriate *790sanction where Mr. Poe’s conduct was found frivolous. Mettler v. Mettler, 569 So.2d 496 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990).
