Opinion
No. 90-1756.
June 20, 1991. Rehearing Denied July 15, 1991.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County; Ted P. Coleman, Judge.
T. Kevin Knight, Drage, deBeaubien, Knight Simmons, Orlando, for appellant.
James K. Freeland, Orlando, for appellee.
After examining the record in this case we find that the age, earning ability, present income and assets of the parties after equitable distribution are sufficiently equal that neither permanent nor rehabilitative alimony should be awarded in this case. Likewise and for the same reason, the trial court was correct in declining to order the husband to pay the wife's attorney's fees. Accordingly the case is affirmed in all particulars except the award of permanent periodic alimony to the wife is reversed.
