The former wife appeals from a final judgment of dissolution. We affirm the trial court’s equitable distribution of the marital assets, but we reverse the child support and permanent alimony awards as facially insufficient. Vandergriff v. Vandergriff, 456 So.2d 464 (Fla. 1984).

In this case, the trial judge awarded child support of $23.00 per week; and $250.00 per month in permanent periodic alimony. The record establishes that the father-husband earned $340.00 (and probably more) per week disposable net income. The trial court awarded him the parties’ major income source.

*557The wife was unemployed at the time of the dissolution, and although she had worked as a bookkeeper in the family business (her sole work experience), she lacked the skills to operate current electronic bookkeeping machines in today’s job market. Appellant married at age 17, and had no formal education beyond the eleventh grade. She helped raise the parties four children and twelve foster children. She was also in poor health.1 Her ability to support herself, following the termination of the parties’ thirty-four year marriage, was not established with any certainty.2

The total combined support awarded in this case to the appellant for alimony and child support is $81.00 per week. The fourth and last of the parties’ children is a daughter age 13, who lives with the former wife. This is less than one-quarter of the appellee’s weekly net income based on his lowest figures. In this case, we think the child support award should be at least $50.00 per week, and that the alimony should be similarly increased to at least $450.00 per month. This is roughly the amount the appellee is being required to pay for the former wife’s benefit, considering his obligation to pay $206.00 per month toward her monthly automobile payments. That requirement on top of the increased alimony would be excessive, so we direct that it be dropped, and replaced by the alimony increase.

Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment in part, reverse in part, and we remand for entry of a judgment consistent with this opinion.

AFFIRM IN PART; REVERSE IN PART; AND REMAND.

concurring in part; dissenting in part:

I concur with the increase in child support because the $23.00 per week is so low as to constitute an abuse of discretion. Fifty dollars per week is adequate, under the circumstances here.

I dissent as to the change in alimony. The increase in alimony and elimination of the automobile payment is purely and simply this court’s substituting its judgment for that of the trial court. The amount of the obligation remains the same, the benefactor is the same person, the payments are made by the same person — the only difference is to whom the payments are made. It is not up to an appellate court to fashion marriage dissolution settlement plans, especially where it cannot be held that the trial judge abused his discretion.
