George ABRAHAM, Appellant,
v.
Sherrie Lleo ABRAHAM, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
*422 Paul H. Bass, Coral Gables, for appellant.
Abrams & Etter, and Brenda Abrams, Miami, and Andy W. Acosta, for appellee.
Before NESBITT, LEVY and SORONDO, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
George Abraham, husband, appeals the lower court's Order Awarding Temporary Relief to Sherrie Lleo Abraham, wife.
The husband and wife have been married three years and have a three year old child. The husband is wealthy and the couple have lived an affluent lifestyle. In the order being appealed the trial judge awarded the wife temporary support in an amount which equals approximately 87% of the husband's net monthly income. The court refused to identify which portion of the award was for child support and which was intended to be temporary alimony. The court also refused to apply the child support guidelines to establish the amount of temporary child support. Burkhart v. Burkhart,
We conclude that the trial judge abused his discretion in making these awards and reverse the order under review in its entirety. We remand to the trial court for a total reconsideration of the issue of temporary support.
Reversed and remanded.
