Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

Date published: Apr 1, 1992

595 So. 2d 315 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 91-1706.

April 1, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Lawrence L. Korda, Judge.

Catherine Rafferty, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

No brief filed for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The sole issue meriting discussion is the trial court's failure to set a termination date for the payment of rehabilitative alimony. Rehabilitative alimony can only be awarded for a finite period. Strollo v. Strollo, 365 So.2d 189 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978); Zilbert v. Zilbert, 287 So.2d 100 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973).

Accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions to the trial court to conduct a hearing and specify a termination date for such an award.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART.

DOWNEY and LETTS, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, ALAN R., Associate Judge, concur.
