A. Leigh McBRIDE, Appellant, v. Drennan LEE, Appellee.
    No. 97-2522
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Dec. 4, 1998.
    C. John Coniglio of Law Office of C. John Coniglio, P.A. and Julian E. Harrison, P.A., (A Partnership of Professional Associations), Wildwood, for Appellant.
    Robert L. Appleget, Jr., Ocala, for Appel-lee.
   PETERSON, J.

In this dissolution proceeding, A. Leigh McBride, D.V.M., appeals the trial court’s determination concerning the value of her veterinary practice.

We agree with Dr. McBride’s contention that the record does not contain competent substantial evidence of any increase in the value of her professional association during the marriage. Accordingly , we vacate that portion of the final judgment finding the enhanced value of the association to be $50,-000, and order the trial court, upon remand, to reduce the equalizing equitable distribution payment due to Mr. Lee from $35,478.47 to $10,478.47.

AFFIRMED IN PART; VACATED IN PART; REMANDED.

COBB and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.
