Opinion

Case No. 96-01120

Opinion filed November 20, 1996.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County; James R. Case, Judge.

Geneva Forrester of Law Offices of Geneva Forrester, St. Petersburg, for Appellant.

Steven W. Hair of Law Office of Steven W. Hair, P.A., Clearwater, for Appellee.


In this dissolution of marriage action, the husband appeals the alimony and special equity awarded to the wife. We affirm the final judgment. However, one issue raised by the husband merits discussion. The husband argues that the court awarded an unspecified amount of rehabilitative alimony by ordering him to pay "all tuition charges incurred during [the wife's] course of education in interior design for a period of two years." The rehabilitation plan presented by the wife included a request for tuition in an amount ranging between $12,000 and $17,000. Because the trial court's award is limited by the evidence presented, we conclude that the final judgment is limited to tuition payments in an amount not to exceed $17,000.

Affirmed.

PARKER, A.C.J., and FULMER, J., and MENENDEZ, MANUEL, JR., ASSOCIATE JUDGE, Concur.
