District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

May 26, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Law Offices of Rodriguez-Chomat, Fernandez & Associates, P.A., and Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat, Miami, for appellant.

No appearance for appellee.

Before HUBBART, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Contrary to the trial court's conclusion that a spouse who is a foreign national cannot establish the requisite residency for the purpose of dissolution of marriage, this court in Nicolas v. Nicolas, 444 So.2d 1118 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), held that a spouse can do so. We reverse the trial court's order dismissing the petition for dissolution on the authority of Nicolas and remand for further proceedings.
