Winewica v. Winewica

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided July 26, 1983No. 82-1389PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Per curiam

By this appeal, among other things, the appellant attacks the inadequate alimony award given in a final judgment dissolving her marriage.

The trial court and all counsel labored under the misapprehension that the appel-lee’s federal pension could not be considered in awarding alimony. It appears that such a pension can be considered. Baker v. Baker, 419 So.2d 735 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); Cullen v. Cullen, 413 So.2d 1196 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); Higgins v. Higgins, 408 So.2d 731 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); 10 U.S.C.A. § 1408.

Therefore all awards in the nature of alimony are reversed and the matter is returned…
