Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Because the record does not contain substantial competent evidence supporting the trial court's conclusion that the ex-wife is in need of an alimony award and that the ex-husband has the ability to pay such an award, we reverse that portion of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage awarding permanent periodic alimony to the ex-wife. Heilman v. Heilman, 610 So.2d 60 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992). The remainder of the final judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed in part; reversed in part.
