1Opinion of the Court
GREENE, Judge.
Steven Robert Souter appeals that portion of a dissolution decree that awarded his wife, Lorie Ann Souter, $7,000 maintenance in gross, and $750 attorney fees.
Steven contends that the court abused its discretion in making such awards by not considering all the statutory factors which are a prerequisite to such awards, and that such awards are against the weight of the evidence.
