Shannon v. Shannon
Opinion of the Court
We are called upon to review the financial provisions of a final judgment dissolving the marriage of the parties. The points on appeal urge that in each instance the wife should have been treated more liberally. Our examination of the record in the light of the briefs convinces us, with with one exception, that the points presented do not present reversible error under the rules in Lindley v. Lindley, Fla.1955, 84 So.2d 17, and Singer v. Singer, Fla.App.1972, 262 So.2d 731.

The appellant further urges that the court overlooked the fact that $20,000 was
Thereupon, the judgment appealed is amended by adding a paragraph numbered 8 as follows:
“8. The husband shall transfer to the wife forthwith the sum of $10,000 representing the wife’s one-half interest in additional savings accrued during the marriage.”
The judgment as amended is affirmed.
Amended and affirmed.
