Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The wife appeals the real property distribution awards made by the trial court as part of its final judgment of marriage dissolution. If reasonable men could differ as to the propriety of the distribution, there is no abuse of discretion and we must affirm. Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197, 1203 (Fla.1980). When reviewing this judgment, we must look at the judgment as a whole, and not the separate remedies used by the trial court to achieve equity between the parties. Jones v. Jones, 431 So.2d 697 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983). A 50/50 division of marital assets has never been required for a distribution to be equitable. While we might have awarded the wife a greater amount had we been the trier of fact, this is no basis for reversal. DiPrima v. DiPrima, 435 So.2d 876, 878 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983), review denied, 447 So.2d 886 (Fla. 1984). We find that the property distribution involved herein was within the broad discretion granted trial courts in this area. Canakaris. The wife's other points on appeal are without merit. Finally, we find no error in the trial court's award of attor ney's fees to the wife. See Canakaris, 382 So.2d at 1205. Accordingly, we affirm.
