V.
                                              §   January 5, 2023
MELINDA RICE, Appellee                        §   Memorandum Opinion by Justice Bassel

                                      JUDGMENT

       This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that the judgment of the

trial court is affirmed in part and reversed in part. We reverse the part of the

corrected final decree of divorce that awards appellate attorney’s fees to Appellee

Melinda Rice and remand for a new trial solely on that issue. We affirm the remainder

of the corrected final decree of divorce.

       It is further ordered that Appellant David Rice and Appellee Melinda Rice shall

split all of the costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
