PER CURIAM.
Appellant/husband challenges the court’s award of certain marital property to the wife and an award of $1,000 per month in permanent alimony. By cross-appeal, the wife contends that the alimony award is inadequate.
It is evident from the record that the trial judge labored at reaching what he obviously felt to be a fair disposition of the issues. In the process he was required to resolve sharp disputes in the evidence as to the amount and value of the marital assets. We could reverse only by reweighing the evidence and credibility of the witnesses— which an appellate court is not permitted to do. See Shaw v. Shaw, 334 So. 2d 13, 16 (Fla.1976). No abuse of discretion has been clearly demonstrated. See Kuvin v. Kuvin, 442 So. 2d 203 (Fla.1983); Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So. 2d 1197 (Fla.1980).

The trial judge implicitly rejected Futch’s testimony that the commission agreement between her and Head applied to some future task which Head was to perform, and this determination appears to have been amply supported by the re…

Shaw, 334 So. 2d 13, 16 (Fla.1976); Futch v. Head, 511 So. 2d 314, 317 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987); Broman v. Froman, 458 So. 2d 833 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984). Similarly, the appellate court does not assess whether it is possible to recite contradictory record evidence which supports arguments rejected below, nor does it retry the case or substitute its judgment for the trial court’s on…

Finding no reversible error in the remainder of the issues raised by the appellants, we affirm. .
