Description
PER CURIAM. OPINION. The issue in this divorce case involves the division of the equity in an apartment building and house, the major assets belonging to the Cookes. After a bench trial in July, 1978, the Judge issued an order awarding the property entirely to Mrs. Cooke. Mr. Cooke has appealed, contending that numerous factual findings of the trial court are clearly erroneous and that the judgment should be set aside. Although there appear to be some factual errors in the Judge's findings, we do not believe that when the record is viewed as a whole the judgment of the court was mistaken. Consequently, we affirm the property award. Nevertheless, we do not believe attorney's fees should have been awarded to Mrs. Cooke. Mr. and Mrs. Cooke were married in 1967. Mrs. Cooke was then 43, Mr. Cooke was 42. Both of them are in good health. They have not had any children.
