Opinion
Lawrence Egle timely appeals the final judgment of dissolution of his marriage to Susan Krinsk. We reverse solely for the circuit court to correct the period of the durational alimony award to reflect the length of the marriage and affirm as to the remaining issues.
The circuit court awarded durational alimony of $1000 per month for a period of fifteen years. However, the court intended to award alimony for a period representing the length of the marriage. The marriage in this case lasted just under fourteen years and ten months — not fifteen years. The parties agree that this was error. See § 61.08(7), Fla. Stat. (2011) (“[T]he length of an award of dura-tional alimony may not be modified except under exceptional circumstances and may not exceed the length of the marriage.”) (emphasis added); Cooley v. Cooley, 106 So.3d 17, 17 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for the circuit court to correct the period of the durational alimony award to reflect the length of the marriage.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part with directions.
