Description
HENRIOD, Justice. Appeal from a judgment modifying a divorce decree. Affirmed with costs to plaintiff. In a 1946 divorce decree, plaintiff was awarded custody of 4 minor children and '$50 per month alimony and support money
for herself and minor children.' In addition, defendant was required to pay a $1,500 mortgage. Later on plaintiff remarried
and defendant, apparently under threat of court action, paid the $1,500 and plaintiffs signed a release of all claims for
alimony and child support, past, present and future. Two of the minor children attained their majority before plaintiff petitioned
for a modification of the divorce decree, which resulted in a judgment for $1,800 for support money due, and $50 per month
for the support of the 2 remaining minor children. In the original divorce action the court found that the defendant was 'capable
of earning $250 per month.' He has contributed practically nothing to his children's support the past 10 years. He testified
his present earnings are less than $125 per month, and that he has a heart ailment, a new wife and a new child. Plaintiff
and her children have been on relief throughout most of the 10-year period.
