Robert R. SAPP, Appellant/Petitioner(s), v. Andrea J. SAPP, Appellee/Respondent(s).
BY ORDER OF THE COURT.
Because we conclude that the trial court's reservation of retroactive alimony, retroactive child support, and child support credits or deficits defeats the finality of the judgment on appeal, this appeal is dismissed without prejudice to the appellant to file a new appeal once an order disposing of these reserved issues is entered. See generally Wilson v. Wilson, 906 So.2d 356 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005); see also Pool v. Bunger, 43 So.3d 837 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) (holding that a reservation of child support arrearages defeated finality); but see Ulrich v. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., 764 So.2d 731, 733 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000); Mendoza v. Mendoza, 842 So.2d 1020 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003) (holding that a reservation of attorney's fees and costs does not defeat finality).
