It is my opinion that this case is controlled by our decision in the case of Roe v. Roe, 98 Fla. 840, 124 So. 734, and not by Webster v. St. Petersburg Federal Savings Loan Association,155 Fla. 412, 20 So. 2d 400. It is further my view that the facts of this case are very similar to those of Marshall v. Felker,156 Fla. 476, 23 So. 2d 555, 161 A.L.R. 167. See also Harvey v. Hubbard, Fla., 38 So. 2d 303.
