RICHARD FISCINA v. DARLENE FISCINA (2017)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

RICHARD FISCINA, Appellant, v. DARLENE FISCINA, Appellee.

No. 4D16-836

Decided: May 10, 2017

Robin Bresky and Jeremy Dicker of Law Offices of Robin Bresky, Boca Raton, for appellant. Andrew A. Harris of Burlington & Rockenbach, P.A., and J. Mark Maynor of Maynor & Associates, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Richard Fiscina (the Husband) appeals the trial court's amended final judgment of dissolution of his marriage to Darlene Fiscina (the Wife). We affirm without comment on all issues raised, save one. The trial court erred by failing to include the Husband's loan on the boat and trailer in its equitable distribution scheme.

The Husband's expert testified that Husband owed $21,167 on the boat and trailer. The Wife also conceded that there was a loan. Moreover, in their proposed equitable distribution schemes, both parties included the loan and valued the debt at $21,167. However, in the trial court's equitable distribution scheme, the loan is not included.

Therefore, we reverse and remand for the trial court to include the Husband's loan on the boat and trailer when equitably distributing the parties' assets and liabilities. See Wolf v. Wolf, 979 So. 2d 1123, 1125 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008) (“It is reversible error for the trial court to fail to identify and distribute each marital asset and liability.”).

Affirmed in part, Reversed in part, and Remanded.

PER CURIAM.

MAY, KLINGENSMITH and KUNTZ, JJ., concur.
