Jacobs v. Jacobs

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Dec 4, 1979
377 So. 2d 251 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1979)

Opinion

No. 79-649.

December 4, 1979.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Dade County; Joseph J. Gersten, Judge.

Haves Teller and S. Melvin Apotheker, Miami, for appellant.

Paul E. Gifford, Miami, for appellee.

Before HENDRY, BARKDULL and SCHWARTZ, JJ.


We disagree with the wife's contention that the lower court erred in awarding her rehabilitative, rather than permanent alimony. Under the circumstances demonstrated in the record, that determination was a proper exercise of the discretion of the trial judge, with which we may not interfere. Herzog v. Herzog, 346 So.2d 56 (Fla. 1977); Shaw v. Shaw, 334 So.2d 13 (Fla. 1976).

We note that the judgment, which provided for two years of rehabilitative alimony at $750 per month, is, upon a proper showing, subject to modification under Sec. 61.14, Fla. Stat. (1977).

Since the appellant's other point also lacks merit, the judgment below is

Affirmed.
