Priestes v. Priestes

In Priestes v. Priestes, 549 So. 2d 246 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989), the Court noted that it was generally reversible error to award temporary alimony before the paying party had an opportunity to present evidence. The temporary support order in Priestes was affirmed, however, because of the exigent circumstances: the wife was in the final stages of pregnancy and without support, the amount awarded was not per se unreasonable, and the trial judge offered additional hearing time. See 549 So. 2d at 247.
