Opinion of the Court
SAWAYA, J.
We reverse that part of the final judgment awarding attorney’s fees to the former wife in this dissolution of marriage proceeding. We do so because it is clear from the record that “[t]he trial court abused its discretion in this regard after making an equal distribution of marital assets and equalizing incomes through the alimony award.” Naugle v. Naugle, 632 So. 2d 1146, 1147 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994). Otherwise, the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage is affirmed.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.
TORPY, J. and MUNYON, L.T., Associate Judge, concur.
