Head Matter:
Francina PACE, Appellant, v. Larry PACE, Appellee.
No. 84-2778.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
July 2, 1985.
Melvin A. Rubin, Miami, for appellant.
No appearance for appellee.
Before HUBBART, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The order under review is reversed upon the authority of Sweetland v. Gauntlett, 460 So.2d 570 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), and authorities collected therein. The law is well-settled that a trial court may not modify a prior child support award where, as here, no pleading has been filed requesting such modification.
Reversed.
