Opinion of the Court
NORTHCUTT, Judge.

NORTHCUTT, Judge.

Joseph Gonnella challenges the order denying his petition to modify his child support obligation. He claimed an inability to pay based upon his incarceration in state prison.

We reverse with instructions to hold the petition in abeyance on the inactive calendar for the term of Gonnella’s incarceration until a time when a thorough evaluation of his ability to pay may be conducted and a farsighted plan for payment may be established. See Dep’t of Revenue v. Jackson, 846 So. 2d 486 (Fla.2003).

Reversed and remanded.

First, Jones correctly argues that the habitual felony offender sentencing statute exempts drug offenses of possession with intent to sell. § 775.084(1)(a)(3), Fla. Stat. (2003); Burgess v. State, 854 So. 2d 754 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); McCray v. State, 769 So. 2d 1123 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).

The 10 year mandatory minimum sentence imposed on Scott’s third degree felony is, therefore, illegal and must be reduced on remand to five years. See Burgess v. State, 854 So. 2d 754, 755 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); Summers v. State, 747 So. 2d 987, 989 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999); see also Williams v.
