Opinion
No. 85-199.
November 5, 1985. As Modified on Denial of Rehearing January 28, 1986.
Appeal from the Dade County Circuit Court, Moie J.L. Tendrich, J.
Lapidus Stettin and Richard L. Lapidus, Miami, for appellant.
Carroll Halberg and Daniels Hicks and Mark Hicks, Miami, for appellee.
Before HENDRY, NESBITT and FERGUSON, JJ.
Gina Pyszka appeals from a final judgment of dissolution of marriage which awarded her $3,000 per month in permanent periodic alimony, one-half of the assets from the sale of designated properties after payment of all debts, including the mortgage on the marital home, and the marital home. The husband was awarded his partnership interest in his law firm and the assets remaining after all debts, including appellant's attorney's fees, are paid.
We have carefully studied the record on appeal and find that the trial court did not abuse its broad discretion in fashioning an equitable, if not perfect, award. Marcoux v. Marcoux, 464 So.2d 542 (Fla. 1985); Walter v. Walter, 464 So.2d 538 (Fla. 1985); Mullins v. Mullins, 460 So.2d 566 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).
Affirmed.
ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
We modify the November 5, 1985 opinion to require appellee-husband to pay the income taxes on the award of permanent alimony. See Carroll v. Carroll, 471 So.2d 1358 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985). Otherwise rehearing is denied.
