Opinion

No. 85-401.

October 15, 1985.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Robert P. Kaye, J.

Steven M. Rosen, Miami, for appellant.

Podhurst, Orseck, Parks, Josefsberg, Eaton, Meadow Olin and Joel S. Perwin and Katherine W. Ezell, Miami, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUBBART and NESBITT, JJ.


We are convinced that the wife's application for additional temporary attorney's fees was denied as a matter of the trial court's discretion — rather than because of a belief, contrary to Belcher v. Belcher, 271 So.2d 7 (Fla. 1972), that none could be awarded under the circumstances as a matter of law. The order is affirmed on the ground that no abuse of that discretion has been demonstrated. Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 1980); Muhlrad v. Muhlrad, 375 So.2d 24 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979).
