SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
STATE OF FLORIDA
Case No. 6D2025-2485 Lower Tribunal No. 2022-DR-001643
DESTINY L. AGUILAR, Appellant,
v.
JESUS AGUILAR, JR., Appellee.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County. Gerald P. Hill, II, Judge.
September 18, 2026
PRATT, J.
We dismiss this appeal to the extent Appellant seeks to challenge the portion of the trial court's order imposing the attorney's fee sanction. See Schmidt v. Schmidt, 319 So. 3d 65, 65 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021) (“Although the trial court found that [the appellee] was entitled to attorney's fees in connection with the motion for contempt, it did not award an amount. An order merely finding entitlement to attorney's fees is a non-final, non-appealable order. . . . Orders granting attorney's fees without determining amount are not ripe for appellate review." (citations,
internal quotation marks, and internal brackets omitted)). We otherwise affirm the trial court's order in its entirety. See Greenan v. Hometown Title & Closing Servs., LLC, 51 Fla. L. Weekly D1527, 2026 WL 2130528, at *1 (Fla. 6th DCA July 24, 2026) ("It is a well-established maxim of appellate practice that claims for which an appellant has not presented any argument, or for which he [or she] provides only conclusory argument, are insufficiently presented for review and are waived." (citations, internal quotation marks, and internal brackets omitted)).
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
