Opinion

No. 88-75.

September 22, 1988.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Seminole County; Kenneth M. Leffler, Judge.

Stacy K. Britton, of Law Offices of Wallace F. Stalnaker, Jr., P.A., Casselberry, for appellant.

Michael Sigman and Lawrence I. Hauser, Orlando, for appellee.

SHARP, Chief Judge.

The former husband appeals from a final judgment in a dissolution proceeding which divided the marital property,¹ and awarded the wife permanent and rehabilitative alimony² and attorney's fees. We affirm the property distribution and alimony awards, but reverse the $6,000 award of attorney's fees based on Beaver v. Beaver, 500 So.2d 742 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987); and Ariko v. Ariko, 475 So.2d 1352 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985).

1 The property division made by the trial judge was relatively equal and no abuse of discretion by the trial judge was shown. Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 1980).

2 See Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 1980); Evans v. Evans, 507 So.2d 1130 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987).

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART.

COBB and DANIEL, JJ., concur.
