Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1992

Paley v. Paley

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 1, 1992 · Alan, Downey, Letts, Schwartz

595 So. 2d 315; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 3903; 1992 WL 63115 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The sole issue meriting discussion is the trial court’s failure to set a termination date for the payment of rehabilitative alimony. Rehabilitative alimony can only be awarded for a finite period. Strollo v. Strollo, 365 So.2d 189 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978); Zilbert v. Zilbert, 287 So.2d 100 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973).

Accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions to the trial court to conduct a hearing and specify a termination date for such an award.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART.

DOWNEY and LETTS, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, ALAN R., Associate Judge, concur.
