Miguel SELLITTO, Appellant, v. Maria STONE f/k/a Maria Sellitto, Appellee.
    No. 96-2324.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Dec. 3, 1997.
    Ronald E. D’Anna of Mattlin & McClosky, Boca Raton, for appellant.
    Matthew J. Schaefer of Matthew J. Schae-fer, P.A., Ft. Lauderdale, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the final judgment and remand in light of the former husband’s entitlement to a continuance. Permitting withdrawal of his attorney very close to the trial date without a concomitant continuance effectively deprived appellant of the opportunity to be represented.

GLICKSTEIN, DELL and WARNER, JJ., concur.
