Vicki TAPLIN, Appellant, v. Jack G. TAPLIN, Appellee.
No. 85-401.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Oct. 15, 1985.
Steven M. Rosen, Miami, for appellant.
Podhurst, Orseck, Parks, Josefsberg, Eaton, Meadow & Olin and Joel S. Perwin and Katherine W. Ezell, Miami, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUB-BART and NESBITT, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We are convinced that the wife's application for additional temporary attorney's fees was denied as a matter of the trial court's discretion — rather than because of a belief, contrary to Belcher v. Belcher, 271 So.2d 7 (Fla.1972), that none could be awarded under the circumstances as a matter of law. The order is affirmed on the ground that no abuse of that discretion has been demonstrated. Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla.1980); Muhlrad v. Muhlrad, 375 So.2d 24 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979).
