Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- awarding unallocated child support and alimony award consisting of house payment, taxes, and insurance;
- wife received one-half net proceeds of marital home and property interest, not alimony interest, in one-half of pension benefits
- trial court explicitly designated marital home a support award, so issue of credit for payments arose
- where order to pay all home expenses constitutes a form of rehabilitative alimony, trial court did not err in failing to award payor credit upon sale of home
- alimony obligation of 66.7% of net monthly wage does not \shortchange\ husband
- “[R]ules should not be interpreted as hard and fast when to do so will defeat the purposes of equity. . . . This Court has continued to honor the broad discretionary authority necessary to do equity between the parties.”
