Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Former Wife appeals an order rendered February 8, 2022, suspending her timesharing.1 On appeal, Former Wife argues, inter alia, that this order is in error because it granted relief not requested by Former Husband, citing Golden v. Bass, 194 So. 3d 1080, 1082 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). We agree and therefore reverse this order.

We affirm the order transferring venue without further discussion. AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED. EVANDER, WALLIS and EISNAUGLE, JJ., concur.
