JENNINGS v. JENNINGS

No. 76-1417.

353 So.2d 921 (1978)

Thelma JENNINGS, Appellant, v. J. C. JENNINGS, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

January 4, 1978.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wallis E. Schulle of Simpson, Brodbeck & Schulle, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles C. Chillingworth, Palm Beach, for appellee.

LETTS, Judge.

In this case the husband petitioned the court for a modification of alimony "by reducing the amount ... required to be paid." The court's order, now appealed from, cancelled the alimony altogether.

We reverse.

The petition, on its face, clearly did not seek a cancellation but only a reduction in alimony payments. As a consequence it was error for the trial judge to so rule. Herbert v. Herbert, 304 So.2d 465
