Description
James K. Weaver brings his second appeal, challenging an amended final divorce decree increasing alimony. In the first appeal, husband had moved the trial court to decrease or terminate alimony. He contended that Norma, his former wife, no longer needed alimony after receiving a $200,000 inheritance. The trial court denied the motion and found wife needed at least $872.65 a month, based upon a sliding-scale formula to increase alimony automatically as husbands income increased. We reversed and remanded the case for reconsideration as it did not appear from the record that the trial court had considered the $200,000 inheritance in determining wifes needs. We also struck the sliding scale formula. The unpublished decision asked the trial court to consider the inheritance. However, on remand, the trial court further increased alimony to $2,154.00 per month. Husband appeals. Once again we reverse.
