Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

After consideration of all the points raised on appeal, we conclude that the sole question which merits discussion is whether special verdicts are required in jury trials involving comparative negligence.

The Florida supreme court recently addressed that issue in Lawrence v. Florida East Coast Ry., 346 So. 2d 1012 (Fla.1977) and held that special verdicts are required. The decision, however, is to be applied prospectively only.

AFFIRMED.

BOARDMAN, C. J., and GRIMES and SCHEB, JJ., concur.

The wife also contends that the trial court erred in ordering the marital home to be sold and the proceeds divided equally. In Carlsen v. Carlsen, 346 So. 2d 132 (Fla. 2d DCA 1977) we approved of such a procedure as long as the pleadings seek partition and contain the necessary allegations. In the instant case we find the husband’s petition met these requisites. However, we noted in Carteen that if the court…
