How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an award 5 of spousal support will be altered only upon a showing of an abuse of discretion
• holding that, where agreement set value the shareholder spouse could receive for the firm’s goodwill, non-shareholder spouse was bound by that valuation so as not to receive a greater interest upon divorce than the shareholder spouse
• reversing an award of $3,500 in costs for lack of specificity and remanding for the district court to enter more specific findings so that it could be determined on appeal whether there was substantial evidence to support the cost award
• disallowing a trial court order that permitted the husband to pay the wife her marital share over a ten-year period where there was no showing that the husband was unable to make financial arrangements to pay the wife outright
• judge’s findings revealed reliance on inappropriate factors, and record showed spouse seeking alimony was neither in need nor entitled to alimony when appropriate factors considered
• trial court’s valuation of law firm goodwill restricted by nonfraudulent professional shareholder agreement valuing goodwill at $1.00
