Judge: Moore
Court: Circuit County, Montgomery County, Alabama

Defendant's Attorney:
Description:
Montgomery, Alabama divorce lawyers represented husband and wife involving right to alimony and property division.
Husband filed a complaint seeking a divorce from the wife. Wife filed an answer to the complaint, which she amended on January 10, 2022. After a trial, the trial court entered a judgment, divorcing the parties. The judgment, among other things, awarded the wife "periodic alimony in the amount of $3,500 per month for four years (48 months)" and, as part of its property division, awarded the wife $2,414,932 payable in monthly installments over 4 years.
Husband filed a postjudgment motion to alter, amend, or vacate the divorce judgment, challenging, among other things, the alimony and property-division awards. Following a hearing on the husband's postjudgment motion, the trial court entered an order on December 18, 2023, that, among other things, amended the divorce judgment to add certain findings of fact, to reduce the "periodic alimony" to $3,500 per month for "three years (36 months)," and to make the $2,414,932 award payable in equal installments over 60 months.
