The opinion

JOHN B. ROBBINS, Judge, concurring.

|fJ agree with the majority opinion and its rationale for affirming the trial court. I write separately to point out that our court recently affirmed a denial of alimony where the circumstances of the requesting spouse were significantly more dire than Ms. Whitworth’s. See Evtimov v. Milanova, 2009 Ark. App. 208 , 300 S.W.3d 110 . In Evtimov, the requesting spouse could hardly communicate in English, was earning minimum wages from two part-time jobs, and was living out of his car inasmuch as the marital home was awarded to the more affluent spouse, who was earning a six-figure income as a professor at UALR. If we were correct in affirming the denial of rehabilitative alimony in Evti-mov, we surely do not err in affirming in this case.

MARSHALL, J., joins in this concurrence.
