Description
The question presented in this case is whether the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to terminate a contractual obligation to pay alimony incorporated into a Florida divorce decree. The trial court ruled there was no change in circumstances since the entry of the divorce decree justifying an adjustment in the alimony. There is no dispute between the parties that the husband's earnings are so low he cannot make the alimony payments and exist on his present income. The position of the wife, however, is that he must rely on other resources she believes are available to satisfy the alimony provision in the divorce decree. We hold the trial court did commit an abuse of discretion in ruling the evidence failed to show a material change in circumstances, which would justify a termination or reduction of the alimony payments. The case is reversed and remanded for a determination by the trial court of an appropriate reduction in alimony payments if the court does not decide termination is justified under the circumstances.
