COHEN, J.
Meagan Tramble (“Former Wife”) appeals a final judgment dissolving her marriage
to Rodney Tramble (“Former Husband”). No transcript of the trial was provided, nor was
a statement of the evidence or proceedings settled and approved pursuant to Florida Rule
of Appellate Procedure 9.200(b)(4). 1 Even in the absence of a transcript, we review these

Former Husband objected. The trial court rejected the statement, stating that it was “not
an accurate reflection of the evidence adduced at trial upon which the Court relied in
determining the time-sharing plan.”
cases closely. Our review is limited, though, to error appearing on the face of the final
judgment or in the pleadings and other matters in the record. Mayfield v. Mayfield, 929
So. 2d 671, 672 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006).
Most of Former Wife’s arguments either cannot be substantiated without a
transcript or are, in fact, refuted by the limited record provided. 2 Yet we do find reversal
is required on one issue of substance—the trial court’s failure to address Former Wife’s
request for child support retroactive to the date of separation. We remand for the trial
court to determine Former Husband’s liability, if any, for retroactive child support. In all
other respects, we affirm.
AFFIRMED in part; REMANDED for further proceedings.
PALMER and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.
2For example, Former Wife challenges the failure of the court to determine the
marital component of Former Husband’s retirement account. There is a mediated
settlement agreement that resolved the property issues and specifically provided that
each party would keep his or her own retirement accounts.
