Opinion of the Court

FIFTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF FLORIDA

Case No. 5D2024-3011 LT Case No. 2021-DR-008023-FM

ROBERT J. CONCHIGLIA, Appellant,

V.

JENNIFER A. CONCHIGLIA, Appellee.

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. John Ingle Guy, Judge.

Michael J. Korn, of Korn & Zehmer, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant.

Rebecca Bowen Creed, of Creed & Gowdy, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Robert J. Conchiglia (“Husband”), appeals the Amended Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage from Jennifer A. Conchiglia ("Wife"). Among other things, the Amended Final Judgment awarded shared parental responsibility and divided the parties' marital assets. Husband appeals the unequal distribution of the parties' assets, raising several issues related to asset allocation.

We reverse only as to the assignment of $150,000 to Husband for the July 2020 Benjamin Tech investment. Specifically, we reverse because there was no evidence of “intentional dissipation, waste, depletion, or destruction” by Husband as to that investment. See § 61.075(1)(i), Fla. Stat. (2024); Roth v. Roth, 312 So. 3d 1021, 1026 (Fla. 2d DCA 2021) (“To include a dissipated asset in the equitable distribution scheme, the evidence must establish that a party engaged in intentional misconduct that resulted in the dissipation of the marital asset.").

Accordingly, we “remand for reconsideration of the equitable distribution scheme" based on the erroneous assignment to Husband of the Benjamin Tech asset. Niederkohr v. Kuselias, 301 So. 3d 1112, 1113–14 (Fla. 5th DCA 2020).

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; and REMANDED.

JAY, C.J., and EISNAUGLE and BOATWRIGHT, JJ., concur.
