No. 96-0474.

670 So.2d 1204 (1996)

Steven D. SCHWARTZ and Calvin A. Schwartz, Appellants, v. Eileen SCHWARTZ, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Dale E. Schwartz, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

April 10, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Farina of Boyes & Farina, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellants.

Mary Sue Donohue of Law Offices of Mary Sue Donohue, Boca Raton, for appellee.

FARMER, Judge.

We agree that the order of contempt was error. A finding of contempt must be based on evidence and not solely on the unsworn statements of counsel. See Petition of Hughes, 318 So.2d 409 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975). We reverse the finding of contempt and remand for an evidentiary hearing.
