Tina M. Strochak v. Scott P. Strochak

PER CURIAM. Appellant challenges an order denying her motion for civil contempt/enforcement against Appellee. We affirm without comment Appellant’s argument that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the motion. Because there was undisputed evidence, however, that Appellee failed to pay the full amount of alimony from March 2013 through July 2013, we remand for the trial court to enter an order awarding Appellant alimony arrearages. See Doyle v. Doyle, 789 So.2d 499, 503 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001) (“ ‘The right of a wife to payment of alimony and child support in arrears is vested and while it is within the discretion of the court to refrain from holding the husband in contempt for non-payment, the wife is entitled to enforcement of the payment by legal process and by such equitable remedies as the trial court may determine to be appropriate or necessary.’ ” (quoting Smithwick v. Smithwick, 343 So.2d 945, 947 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977))). Affirmed; remanded for further proceedings. STEVENSON, GERBER and CONNER, JJ., concur.
