Aaron Haddad,
Appellant/Cross-Appellee,
vs.
Monica Medina,
Appellee/Cross-Appellant.
Appeals from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Marcia B.
Caballero, Judge.
Aaron Haddad, in proper person.
Monica Medina, in proper person.
Before HENDON, GORDO and BOKOR, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
The instant appeals are taken of the trial court’s September 5, 2019
final judgment of paternity and establishment of parenting plan and its
August 24, 2020 partial amendment to the final judgment following rehearing.
Pursuant to the amended final judgment, the trial court ordered the parties
to prepare new child support guidelines worksheets based on its revised
findings. Both parties filed proposed revised child support guidelines
worksheets, but the court has yet to approve or file any revised child support
guidelines. “It is reversible error for the court to fail to include a child support
guidelines worksheet in a final judgment establishing paternity and child
support.” Dep’t of Revenue ex rel. K.A.N. v. A.N.J.,
165 So. 3d 846, 848
(Fla. 2d DCA 2015) (citations omitted). Accordingly, reversal is warranted.
See Garcia v. Espinosa,
314 So. 3d 619, 625 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (holding
the trial court’s failure to include a child support guidelines worksheet in the
final judgment precluded this Court from conducting a meaningful appellate
review of the award and warranted reversal); see also J.A.D. v. K.M.A.,
264
So. 3d 1080, 1083 (Fla. 2d DCA 2019) (“Additionally, the trial court did not
include in the final judgment a child support guidelines worksheet. This, too,
was error.”).
Reversed and remanded.
