Marlow v. Marlow, 464 So.2d 717 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985). It is our responsibility, however, to determine if the trial court abused its discretion in making that determination. Lang v.

Also, the record does not appear to establish a right in the wife to a special equity in that brokerage account. See Bassett v. Bassett, 459 So.2d 473 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984); Lang v. Lang, 459 So.2d 402 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984); Tyler v. Tyler, 427 So.2d 1027 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983); Bolton v. Bolton, 421 So.2d 697 (Fla. 2d DCA 1982). Whether or not the award could have been intended as lump sum alimony is not entirely clear. See Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197, 1200-01 (Fla. 1980).
