    Martin D. Kahn and Patricia E. Kahn, Miami, for appellee.
    Before HENDRY, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Finding no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s award of custody of the oldest child to the father, we affirm. Grant v. Corbitt, 95 So.2d 25 (Fla.1957); § 61.13, Fla.Stat. (1983).

Affirmed.

FERGUSON, Judge

(dissenting).

The only record justification for separating the two minor boys was the older child’s expressed preference, made under compulsion to elect. I would reverse. See Arons v. Arons, 94 So.2d 849 (Fla.1957) (children should not be separated from each other except for the most compelling cause).
