November 8, 2023 PER CURIAM.
Autumn Tomlin challenges the trial court’s parenting plan and the award of attorney fees. We affirm the parenting plan and dismiss the appeal of the attorney fees award. “An award of attorneys’ fees does not become final, and, therefore, appealable until the amount is set by the trial court.” Mills v. Martinez, 909 So. 2d 340 (5th DCA 2005). The trial court granted Nicholas Buccasio’s request for attorney fees and reserved ruling on the amount. This is not yet an appealable, final order.
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
RAY, BILBREY, and LONG, JJ., concur.
