Head Matter:
Edgar T. PLYLER, Appellant, v. Frances S. PLYLER, Appellee.
No. 92-1221.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Aug. 6, 1993.
Charles R. Trulock, Jr., Orlando, for appellant.
F. Douglas McKnight, Orlando, for ap-pellee.

Opinion:
COBB, Judge.
Edgar Plyler appeals from a final judgment of dissolution of his marriage to Frances Plyler. He argues the trial court erred in setting the valuation date for marital assets, in ordering him to maintain a $50,000 life insurance policy to secure her vested interest in his retirement plan, in making an equitable distribution of marital assets, and in requiring him to pay one-half of Frances' attorney's fees and costs. The trial judge did not make express factual findings in regard to the equities between the parties as required by section 61.075(3), Florida Statutes (1991), which was enacted to facilitate meaningful review by the appellate court.
As we did in Bussey v. Bussey, 611 So.2d 1354 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993), we reverse the final judgment below, except as to the dissolution of the marriage, and remand to the trial court to include the specific factual findings now required by the applicable statute.
AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED.
SANDERS, E.P.B., Associate Judge, concurs.
W. SHARP, J., concurs in part, dissents in part with opinion.
