ORDER

Michael Cherry (“Husband”) appeals from the trial court's judgment of dissolution of marriage awarding maintenance to his former wife, April Cherry (“Wife”). On appeal, Husband claims the trial court erred in awarding Wife maintenance pursuant to section 452.335 because it was not supported by substantial evidence, it is based on a misapplication of the law, and it constitutes an abuse of the trial court's discretion in that (1) the trial court did not determine Wife's “reasonable needs;” (2) Wife's employment enables her to provide for her reasonable needs; and (3) Wife was awarded sufficient property to provide for her reasonable needs. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
