Curry v. Curry
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 21, 1990 · Campbell, Lehan, Scheb
572 So. 2d 557; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 9610; 1990 WL 211480 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Curry v. Curry

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal by a former wife from the final judgment in this dissolution of marriage case we affirm.

We affirm the trial court’s retention of jurisdiction over the disposition of the husband’s termination benefits which are to be payable by his employer when his employment is terminated. We do not conclude that there was an abuse of discretion in that regard. The court’s finding that payment to the husband of those benefits “is an uncertain, speculative occurrence” is *558supported by the evidence which also shows uncertainty in the amount of those benefits when and if they become payable. Cf. Diffenderfer v. Diffenderfer, 491 So.2d 265, 269 (Fla. 1986).

We affirm the award of permanent alimony and the portion of the final judgment providing that the wife shall bear her own attorney’s fees. See Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197, 1202-03 (Fla. 1980).

Affirmed.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and CAMPBELL and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
