Alimony

Last week, the Mississippi Court of Appeals handed down Peterson v. Peterson located here.  This case has probably one of the best discussions on the proof needed to modify alimony post divorce.  Ultimately, the Court of Appeals in this case ruled that the modification of alimony under the facts presented was reasonable.  However, the case was remanded on cross-appeal because the trial court failed to make any findings on the record that Mr. Peterson had the ability to pay the amount ordered.
