IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA JUDITH K. GIBSON, Appellant, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED v. CASE NO. 1D02-3070 EDWARD D. GIBSON, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed October 30, 2003. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Bay County. Glenn L. Hess, Judge. Carroll L. McCauley, Panama City, for Appellant. Russell K. Ramey, Panama City, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. We find that the trial court abused its discretion in modifying Appellee s alimony obligation because there was no evidence of a substantial change in circumstances occurring after the entry of the original alimony award. See, e.g., Hanskat v. Hanskat, 716 So. 2d 347 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). The financial circumstances of the parties are essentially the same as they were at the time of the original alimony award. We, therefore, reverse the trial court s order modifying the original alimony award, and remand. ALLEN, DAVIS and BENTON, JJ., CONCUR. 2
