PER CURIAM.
On this appeal, the husband challenges a $5,000.00 sum awarded to the wife’s attorneys as a reasonable attorneys’ fee in a suit for dissolution of marriage and other relief.
The trial court heard testimony from two expert witnesses offered by both parties. The wife’s experts testified that a fee in the range of $7,500.00 to $10,000.00 would be reasonable. The husband’s expert witnesses felt that $2,500.00 was a reasonable fee.
In our view, the appellant has failed to demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion by the trial judge in this case. See Bosem v. Bosem, Fla.1973, 279 So. 2d 863; French v. French, Fla.App.1962, 146 So. 2d 584; Lauderdale v. Lauderdale, Fla.App.1957, 96 So. 2d 663; Provus v. Provus, Fla.1950, 44 So. 2d 656. Therefore, the judgment appealed is affirmed.
Affirmed.

Greenberg, Fla.App.1974, 289 So. 2d 439. However, due to the relative financial status of each party, we find that it was error to order the husband to pay the entire amount of the attorneys fee.
