715 So. 2d 1155 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1998)

Opinion

No. 97-0834

August 26, 1998

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Julie Koenig, Judge; L.T. No. 95-12568(38).

Ileana Haedo of Law Offices of Anthony B. Borras, P.A., Lauderhill, for appellant.

Sara Lawrence of Law Office of Sara Lawrence, P.A., Miami, for appellee.


We reverse the final judgment of dissolution awarding the former wife a property interest in the pending contingency fee matters of the former husband's law practice. See Roberts v. Roberts, 689 So.2d 378 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). On remand, the trial court may reconsider the alimony award in terms of the likelihood of recovery of fees in considering the former husband's income and present standard of living, or the court may reserve the right to consider the fees in a future modification, as they have not yet been considered and bear on the former husband's ability to pay. See id. at 382.

STONE, C.J., FARMER and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
