FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D19-914 _____________________________ AHREN TSACRIOS, Former Husband, Appellant, v. NELLIE TSACRIOS, Former Wife, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Alachua County. Robert K. Groeb, Judge. November 6, 2019 PER CURIAM. The former husband, Ahren Tsacrios, appeals the final judgment of dissolution of marriage, arguing that the trial court erred by finding that $10,750 in student loan debt he incurred during the marriage was nonmarital. The trial court declared this debt nonmarital because the family would have been in a better financial position if the husband had been working rather than attending school. We agree with the former husband that the trial court did not state a valid basis to rule that the debt was nonmarital, and reverse on this issue. See § 61.075(8), Fla. Stat.; see also Rogers v. Rogers, 12 So. 3d 288, 291 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009) (“As a general proposition, student loan debt incurred during the marriage is a marital liability.”). We affirm as to the other four arguments the former husband raises without further comment. AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED. ROBERTS, BILBREY, and WINOKUR, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Tee Hoa Lee of Tee Lee Law, PLLC, Gainesville, for Appellant. Jonathan P. Culver of Jonathan P. Culver, P.A., Ocala, for Appellee. 2
