MILLS, Judge,
dissenting:
I dissent.
I would reverse because Ms. Ruse failed to prove her need for alimony and failed to prove the ability of Mr. Ruse to pay her alimony.
Ms. Ruse’s testimony that she did not need alimony was unrebutted. At the time of the final hearing, Ms. Ruse was earning $12,000.00 a year and Mr. Ruse was earning less than $5,000.00 a year.
I would reverse on authority of Hackney v. Hackney, 324 So.2d 179 (Fla.4th DCA 1975).
