PER CURIAM.
Angelo Ortiz, the former husband, appeals for a second time from the
trial court’s distribution scheme and durational alimony award in favor of
Paola Ferreyra Ortiz, the former wife. In his first appeal, we reversed and
remanded for the trial court to identify and assign a value to all marital assets
and to make specific factual determinations regarding the former wife’s need
for alimony pursuant to section 61.08, Florida Statutes (2021). Ortiz v. Ortiz,
306 So. 3d 1081 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020). Because the trial court complied with
our remand instructions and properly exercised its discretion, we affirm. See
Corrales v. Corrales, 320 So. 3d 217, 219 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (“[A]n award
of alimony, along with the equitable distribution of assets and liabilities, is
within the trial court’s broad discretion. Thus, in this context, our appellate
review is limited to examining the record to determine whether the court’s
findings . . . [are] supported by competent, substantial evidence.”) (internal
quotation marks omitted) (citations omitted).
Affirmed.
