    No. 96-3495.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 20, 1997.
    Georgia Thomas, Tampa, for appellant.
    llene F. Tuckfield, for appellee.
    Before FLETCHER, SHEVIN, and SORONDO, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Because the record does not contain substantial competent evidence supporting the trial court’s conclusion that the ex-wife is in need of an alimony award and that the ex-husband has the ability to pay such an award, we reverse that portion of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage awarding permanent periodic alimony to the ex-wife. Heilman v. Heilman, 610 So.2d 60 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992). The remainder of the final judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed in part; reversed in part.
