District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided June 1, 2001No. 5D00-1912Published

1Opinion of the Court

SHARP, W., J.

Maria Rivers appeals from a final judgment dissolving her three and one-half year marriage to Joseph Rivers. We affirm the denial of rehabilitative alimony, given the evidence that this short-term marriage did not affect Maria’s employa-bility and her failure to provide a plan for rehabilitation. See Sutton v. Hart, 746 So.2d 1175 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999); Calderon v. Calderon, 730 So.2d 400 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999); Beasley v. Beasley, 717 So.2d 208 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998). We also affirm the determination that Maria was not entitled to any interest in the parties’ homes or Joseph’s business.…
