v.
JESUS CISNEROS, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2006-12-20
No. 4D05-4072
STEVENSON, C.J., WARNER and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
944 So. 2d 524 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2006) Positive Treatment
Cited by 22 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The wife challenges various aspects of the final judgment of dissolution of marriage, contending that the court erred by inequitably distributing the marital assets and liabilities, improperly calculating child support, failing to award alimony, and unfairly allocating dependent tax exemptions between the parties. Because there is no transcript of proceedings, we affirm. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla.1979) (‘Without a record of the trial proceedings, the appellate court can not properly resolve the underlying factual issues so as to conclude that the trial court’s judgment is not supported by the evidence or by an alternative theory.”). Each issue requires a review of the trial testimony to determine whether the court abused its discretion.

Affirmed.

STEVENSON, C.J., WARNER and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.

We review trial court restitution orders for an abuse of discretion. Bennett v. State, 944 So. 2d 524, 525 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006). The State bears the burden of proving the amount of restitution, which “must be proved by a preponderance of the evidence” and supported “by substantial competent evidence.” Id. (quoting Koile v.

    …ds that the award is not supported by substantial, competent evidence. We agree. A trial court’s restitution order is reviewed under an abuse of discretion standard. Wolff v. State, 981 So. 2d 651, 653 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) (quoting Bennett v. State, 944 So. 2d 524 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006)). Restitution must be proved by substantial, competent evidence and this evidence must be greater than mere speculation. Id.

  • Rodriguez v. State, 956 So. 2d 1226 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007)
    …a victim as to the amount of their loss is insufficient to sustain a restitution order. See Glaubius v. State, 688 So. 2d 913, 916 (Fla.1997); Peters v. State, 555 So. 2d 450, 451 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). We addressed a similar case in Bennett v. State, 944 So. 2d 524 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006). In Bennett, a private investigator hired by the victim testified that the victim spent “probably ... between eighteen and twenty-thousand dollars” on the investigation. 944 So. 2d at 526. As to the victim’s protection expenses,…
