    Michele MILLAN, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Estaban MILLAN, Appellee/Cross-Appellant.
    Case No. 2D16-2467
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Opinion filed February 14, 2018
    Marsha Sutherland Pullen of Sutherland Pullen Law, PLLC, Naples, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee.
    Esteban Millan, pro se.
   NORTHCUTT, Judge.

In this appeal and cross-appeal from the final order in these postdissolution modification and contempt proceedings, we affirm in all respects save one. During the parties' long-term marriage, the former wife suffered a stroke from which she suffers a permanent impairment and ongoing health issues that significantly hinder her ability to maintain employment. In light of the former wife's severely diminished financial capability-which is exacerbated by the ordered reduction in her ongoing alimony income-the circuit court abused its discretion by giving retroactive effect to the alimony modification so as to charge her with an obligation resulting from past overpayments by the former husband. See Gurdian v. Gurdian, 198 So.3d 65, 68-69 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015). Insofar as the order modifies the former husband's alimony obligation retroactively, it is reversed. The order is otherwise affirmed.

Affirmed in part; reversed in part.
