Emanuel v. Emanuel

How courts have described this case

• requiring that “a change of circumstances must be alleged,” that “the change must be substantial and continuing,” and that “the change must be unanticipated” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• requiring that “a change of circumstances must be alleged,” that “the change must be substantial and continuing,” and that “the change must be unanticipated” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)
• holding that the fact that the children of the parties would attain the age of majority was “within the purview of the court” when it decreed a fixed support sum and thus the fact that children did reach that age was not an unanticipated change supporting a modification of the order.
• “Dr. Emanuel has faced more than his full share of human disappointment and adversity. His unfortunate financial condition, in this court’s opinion, is not due to a desire on his part to avoid his liability, but rather to circumstances beyond his control.”
