Description
The husband appeals a final judgment of dissolution of marriage and a subsequent order awarding attorneys fees to the wife. Although no single specific element of the award would appear to be an abuse of discretion, we conclude that the overall award to the wife, at least concerning the initial monetary payments required of the husband, is excessive. Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 1980). It also appears that the husband will have a difficult time in the future fulfilling reasonable obligations concerning child support and alimony because the couple unnecessarily expended family resources on avoidable divorce litigation. On remand, the trial court shall not reduce child support obligations merely because the parties improvidently spent resources on the divorce proceeding that are now needed for their children. If the trial court determines that avoidable litigation expense was caused by one party more than the other, it is authorized to adjust the equitable distribution so that any resulting decrease in marital assets is borne by the party who caused the needless expense.
