Powell v. Powell

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that requiring one spouse to seek continued education at all was an unjustified burden in light of the salary disparity between the spouses and the physician spouse’s ability to pay maintenance
• holding that the trial court abused its discretion in awarding only $3,000.00 per month in maintenance “considering Dr. Powell’s substantial income and the gross disparity of that income compared with Ms. Powell’s potential income”
• “KRS 403.200 specifically states that the trial court should consider the standard of living to which the parties are -6- accustomed in determining the . . . duration of the award.”
• The wife had been a registered nurse, and the trial court found three years to be a reasonable timeframe to allow her to renew her licenses and meet any new educational requirements.
