SCALES, J.
Appellant Roxanna Denis (“Wife”) challenges three portions of a final judgment dissolving her marriage to appellee Carl Edouard Denis (“Husband”): (i) the trial court’s denial of Wife’s claim for either bridge-the-gap or rehabilitative alimony; (ii) the trial court’s denial of Wife’s claim for attorney’s fees; and (iii) the trial court’s requiring of Wife to pay one-third of the minor child’s uninsured medical and dental expenses.
We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying
Wife’s claims for alimony and attorney’s fees, and therefore affirm these determinations without further discussion.1 With regard to the third issue raised by
Wife, however, we reverse and remand to the trial court either to: (i) require Wife to pay only 28.48 percent of the minor child’s uninsured medical and dental expenses, or (ii) specify its rationale for requiring the Wife to pay one-third (i.e.,
33.33 percent) of these expenses. Husband concedes that, based on Husband’s
Child Support Guidelines Worksheet, Wife’s responsibility for these expenses should be only 28.48 percent rather than the 33.33 percent ordered in the final judgment.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith.
