No. 95-1377.

May 15, 1996.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; H. Eugene Fischer, Judge. L.T. Case No. 93-20398(35).

Karen Coolman Amlong of Amlong Amlong, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Robert L. Bogen of the Law Offices of Robert L. Bogen, Boca Raton, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Under the circumstances of this case, it was an abuse of discretion for the trial court to fail to award at least a nominal amount of permanent alimony to preserve the future right of the wife to such assistance. See McClay v. McClay, 447 So.2d 1026 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984). To that extent, we reverse and remand. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.

GLICKSTEIN, STONE, and GROSS, JJ., concur.
