Daugharty, 441 So. 2d 1160, 1161 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983). 4 Whether such an occasion occurred here, we simply cannot tell. 4 While the trial court’s order seems to suggest Appellant’s attorneys also worked to benefit the partition, this introductory clause within the order does so only within the context of concluding that such a finding does not preclude apportionment of attorneys’ fees in favor of Appellee.
