PER CURIAM.
Appellant, the former husband, appeals the trial court’s final
judgment of dissolution of marriage and order on motion for
rehearing, raising properly preserved issues related to the award
of permanent alimony. In making its determination, the trial court
failed to include a finding that no other form of alimony was fair
and reasonable under the circumstances of the parties, which is
required by statute; Appellee has conceded error on this point. We
therefore remand to the trial court to make this finding. See
Jordan v. Jordan, 199 So. 3d 343, 345 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016) (citing
Winder v. Winder, 152 So. 3d 836, 841 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014)).
B.L. THOMAS, ROWE, and MAKAR, JJ., concur.
