Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
We uphold the trial court’s rejection of the sixty-eight year old husband’s claim of a special equity in the parties’ jointly held home. Marsh v. Marsh, 419 So. 2d 629 (Fla. 1982).

McDonald v. McDonald, 429 So. 2d 795 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983); Protto v. Protto, 431 So. 2d 671 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983).
Affirmed in part; reversed in part.
