1Opinion of the Court

MORRIS, Judge.

Marcos Guirgis, the husband, appeals a final judgment of dissolution of marriage. He first argues that the trial court erred by applying the principle of equitable adoption and ordering him to pay child support for a child he claims he never adopted. We find this argument to be without merit, see C.C.A. v. J.M.A., 744 So.2d 515, 517 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999); Wade v. Wade, 586 So.2d 1158, 1160 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988), and we affirm this portion of the order without further comment.

His second argument is that the combined alimony and child support awards consume too much of the income…
