Cecilia T. VERGARA, Appellant, v. Hernando VERGARA, Appellee.
    No. 86-1087.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    May 26, 1987.
    Law Offices of Rodriguez-Chomat, Fernandez & Associates, P.A., and Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat, Miami, for appellant.
    No appearance for appellee.
    Before HUBBART, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Contrary to the trial court’s conclusion that a spouse who is a foreign national cannot establish the requisite residency for the purpose of dissolution of marriage, this court in Nicolas v. Nicolas, 444 So.2d 1118 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), held that a spouse can do so. We reverse the trial court’s order dismissing the petition for dissolution on the authority of Nicolas and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.
