Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We find no merit to any issue raised on appeal or cross-appeal with the exception of the husband’s contention that the trial court erred in awarding attorney's fees to the wife. The undisputed evidence reveals that the wife received marital property and income substantially equal to the husband, and thus she is in a position to bear the cost of her attorney’s fees. See Cortina v. Cortina, 461 So. 2d 964 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

ERVIN, WENTWORTH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.

We recognize that our holding and the holding in Ford conflicts with the First District Court of Appeal’s decision in McKenzie v. Kinsey, 532 So. 2d 98 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988). We find no error in the trial court’s refusal to apportion liability for the parties’ 1988 income taxes or its award of attorney’s fees to the wife in the modification proceeding.

Kinsey, 532 So. 2d 98 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988), decided it had no power to order Carol to execute either the annual or permanent release form. The court denied relief to John and this appeal ensued.
