PER CURIAM.
We reverse and vacate that part of the trial court’s sentence which imposed a three-year mandatory minimum sentence for the defendant’s conviction of third-de gree murder. The use of a firearm is not an essential element of third-degree murder and the jury did not, by interrogatory verdict, make a specific finding that appellant used a firearm in the commission of the murder. The state agrees that this part of the trial court’s sentence must be reversed on the authority of State v. Overfelt, 457 So. 2d 1385 (Fla.1984) and Vause v. State, 502 So. 2d 511 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987).
We affirm appellant’s conviction and the remainder of the sentence imposed by the trial court.
AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART and REMANDED.
LETTS and DELL, JJ., and FRANK, RICHARD H., Associate Judge, concur.

The mere fact that the trial court, in addition to the reasonable court-ordered visitation, made allowances for the parties to agree to additional visitation times does not place visitation under the wife’s control. Cf. Letourneau v. Letourneau, 564 So. 2d 270 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990) (reversing the trial court’s order granting wife approval of all visitation rights). Finally, the husband asserts the trial court erred in entering the award of attorney’s fees. There must be a determination of the number of hou…
