PER CURIAM.
Bryant Woelk (Husband) appeals the final judgment dissolving his moderate-term
marriage to Vickie Woelk (Wife). Husband takes issue with the trial court's rulings on
alimony, child support and equitable distribution.1 Both parties agree that the final
1 Although Husband disputes the trial court's findings that Wife has the need for
Husband to pay a portion of her attorney's fees and that he has the ability to do so, this
issue is not ripe for appeal. See Brunsman v. Brunsman, 232 So. 3d 1175, 1178 (Fla.
5th DCA 2017) (declining to address entitlement to attorney's fees where there was no
judgment should be remanded to allow the trial court to equitably divide the debts listed
in paragraph 11C of the joint stipulation, Wife's student loan debt, the Nemours debt, and
the 2014 IRS debt. While we affirm the trial court's award of durational alimony for the
length of the marriage, we are unable to review the amount awarded because it is unclear
from the record and the final judgment which expenses were included or excluded in the
trial court's finding that Wife's needs were approximately $1500 per month. See Dorworth
v. Dorworth, 176 So. 3d 336, 339 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015) (reversing for further findings where
trial court listed specific items of expense in final judgment when it determined wife's
monthly needs to be "at least" $5758.30 in order to maintain her then-current standard of
living, but it was not clear whether or why certain expenses were included or excluded in
performing these calculations). This is especially true because the amounts listed in her
financial affidavit conflict with some of her trial testimony. Accordingly, we remand for
further findings of Wife's actual need. As a result, the trial court must also reassess the
child support amount in the event there are any changes to the amount of alimony
awarded. We affirm in all other respects.
AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part; and REMANDED with instructions.
