PER CURIAM.
Appellant raises three points, all of which have merit. Accordingly, we reverse and remand with direction to proceed in accordance herewith.
The trial court abused its discretion in the total award of alimony and child support. See Todesco v. Todesco, 583 So. 2d 774 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991); Gentile v. Gentile, 565 So. 2d 820 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). Further, it erred in failing to set a date for termination of rehabilitative alimony. See Roth v. Roth, 615 So. 2d 868 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993); Sumner v. Sumner, 480 So. 2d 706 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986); Zilbert v. Zilbert, 287 So. 2d 100 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973). Finally, the-trial court erred in awarding an attorney’s fee without any evidence in support thereof. See Prom v. Prom, 589 So. 2d 1363 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991); Florida Patient’s Compensation Fund v. Rowe, 472 So. 2d 1145 (Fla.1985).

Further, it is error to award attorney’s fees if there is no evidence in the record to support the award, see Mayo v. Mayo, 619 So. 2d 513 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993), and without making the findings required by Florida Patient’s Compensation Fund v. Rowe, 472 So. 2d 1145 (Fla.1985). See Payne v.

Draulans v. Deidra Jean Draulans, 69 So. 3d 401 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011)…ger. Although the rehabilitative award was specifically made for the purpose of the Former Wife’s education, there was no time period established. It is error to fail to set a termination date for the payment of rehabilitative alimony. Mayo v. Mayo, 619 So. 2d 513 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993). Accordingly, we reverse the provision of the final judgment awarding rehabilitative alimony and remand for the court to reconsider this issue. We affirm the remainder of the final judgment and the judgment awarding attorney’s f…
