Kim v. Bradshaw

Nov 15, 1990
89-2124
Versions:569 So. 2d 532
1990 WL 178647

PER CURIAM.

Wife appeals from a final judgment of dissolution of marriage arguing that the trial court erred by (1) awarding rehabilitative alimony instead of permanent periodic alimony and (2) by inequitably distributing property in violation of Chapter 61, Florida Statutes. The absence of any findings of fact to support the trial court‘s rehabilitative alimony award and property division preclude any meaningful review by this court.

The final judgment is REVERSED and REMANDED to the trial court for issuance of an amended final judgment containing adequate findings of fact to support the judgment.1See Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 1980); Raehn v. Raehn, 557 So.2d 152 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990); Calhoun v. Calhoun, 554 So.2d 21 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989); Haas v. Haas, 552 So.2d 221 (Fla.2d DCA 1989); Strickler v. Strickler, 548 So.2d 740 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989); Clemson v. Clemson, 546 So.2d 75 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989); Lee v. Lee, 544 So.2d 1083 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989).

WIGGINTON, MINER and WOLF, JJ., concur.

Notes

[1] The trial court may take additional evidence if necessary to comply with this court‘s opinion. This court‘s recent opinion in Thomas v. Thomas, 571 So.2d 499 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990), may be of some guidance to the trial court.
