Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County; Lon S. Cornelius, Judge.

Michael R. Walsh, Orlando, for appellant/cross-appellee.

James M. Magee, Neduchal Magee, P.A., Orlando, for appellee/cross-appellant.


As to both the appeal and cross-appeal, we affirm the judgment below except we find that after the equitable distribution of marital assets in this case, the wife had adequate financial ability to pay her own attorney's fees and therefore the award of attorney's fees to the wife is reversed.
