Head Matter:
Diane ROSSI, Appellant, v. Robert W. GARNER, Appellee.
No. 97-4758.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Dec. 4, 1998.
Keith A. Mclver of Chase, Quinnell & Mclver, P.A., Pensacola, for Appellant.
John C. Susko of The Center for Family Law, P.A., Pensacola, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The appealed order is affirmed except as to the requirement that the appellee pay only a portion of the appellant's attorney's fee and costs. Based on the great disparity in the parties' incomes and financial positions, we conclude that the failure to award the full amount of the appellant's reasonable attorney's fee and costs was an abuse of discretion. See, e.g., Tanck v. Tanck, 675 So.2d 1039 (Fla.App. 1st DCA 1996). The order is therefore reversed as to this ruling, and the case is remanded.
