Akins v. Akins

This is an appeal and cross appeal from a Second Amended Final Judgment rendered by the lower court after remand by this court. Akins v. Akins, 659 So. 2d 330 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995). The central issue raised by the appellant, the former husband, is whether the lower court erred in failing to review both equitable distribution and alimony on remand, and in not finding that the two were interrelated and integral parts of an overall scheme. The former wife cross-appeals, raising three points. First, the former wife contends that the lower court refused to correct a mathematical error. Secondly, she maintains that the court erred in failing to award her attorneys fees on remand. Finally, the former wife argues that the lower court abused its discretion in treating the former husbands motion for a rehearing as a petition to modify alimony even though that relief was not requested by the former husband.
