District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided February 12, 1985·No. No. 84-2594·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The record before us sufficiently demonstrates that the trial court abused its discretion in requiring the husband to pay attorneys’ fees in an amount well beyond his financial ability. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for reconsideration of the award of attorneys’ fees in accordance with the relative financial needs and abilities of the parties. See Cummings v. Cummings, 330 So.2d 134 (Fla.1976); Travieso v. Travieso, 447 So.2d 940 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).

Reversed and remanded.
