Robert H. BARR, Appellant, v. Lindsay A. BARR, Appellee.
    No. BQ-292.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Oct. 22, 1987.
    Michael F. Coppins of Douglass, Cooper & Coppins, Tallahassee, for appellant.
    Jerome M. Novey of Novey & Mendel-son, Tallahassee, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

SMITH, C.J., and JOANOS, J., concur.

WENTWORTH, J., concurs with written opinion.

WENTWORTH, J.,

concurring.

I agree with the conclusion of the majority to affirm the award of permanent alimony for a proportionate share of appellee’s needs fixed by the trial court in the exercise of its discretion. I would also note as a basis for my affirmance that appellant inappropriately invokes the imputed income doctrine against an appellee who had no material employment history before or during the 14-year marriage and now functions as custodial parent of children aged 11 and 14. Cf, Desilets v. Desilets, 377 So.2d 761 (Fla. 2d DCA 1979).
