Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
Gail Calhoun petitions this court for a writ of certiorari to review an order of the circuit court which grants the respondent/appellee’s motion for bifurcation of dissolution proceedings and dissolves the parties’ marriage.
We are unable to conclude that the order constitutes a departure from the essential requirements of law and, therefore, deny the petition for certiorari. We also find no abuse of discretion in the circuit court’s granting of respondent/appellee’s motion for reduction of temporary spousal support and affirm that order. Our decision is without prejudice to petitioner/appellant to move the circuit court for modification of the support obligation upon good cause shown.
HALL, A.C.J., and PATTERSON and ALTENBERND, JJ., concur.

Breitenbach v. Breitenbach, 838 So. 2d 1266 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003)…monthly temporary alimony. Because the record does not support the trial court’s findings as to the Wife’s need for alimony and the Husband’s ability to pay, we reverse. Temporary awards of support and alimony are discretionary. Calhoun v. Calhoun, 627 So. 2d 611 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993). Nevertheless, such awards must be supported by evidence which demonstrates the need for support and the paying spouse’s ability to pay. Fields v. Fields, 533 So. 2d 922 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988); Novack v.

TAYLOR, J., and SCOLA, ROBERT N„ Jr., Associate Judge, concur. . In Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles v. Schnurer, 627 So. 2d 611 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993), the court suggested that Jarrell and Holmes are inconsistent with our supreme court’s opinion in Easkold v. Rhodes, 614 So. 2d 495 (Fla.1993). In Eas-kold, a jury found no permanent injury, and the first district reversed for a…
