1Opinion of the Court

L. CHARLES WRIGHT, Retired Appellate Judge.

This is a divorce case. The wife appeals and her sole issue is whether the trial court abused its discretion in the division of the marital property.

The division of property does not have to be equal, but it must be equitable based upon the particular facts of each case. Lee v. Lee, 518 So.2d 137 (Ala.Civ.App.1987). Such division is a matter addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court and will not be set aside on appeal unless a plain and palpable abuse thereof is shown. Dowdy v. Dowdy, 473 So.2d 1091 (Ala.Civ.App.1985).
