In Re the Marriage of Olsen

Julia Olsen appeals from an order reducing the amount of support required to be paid her by her ex-husband, Jack. She contends that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to reduce this obligation as it was controlled by a separation agreement between the parties precluding modification except by mutual consent. Respondent, Jack Olsen, cross-appeals on the ground that the court's reduction did not go far enough. He argues that he should have been given credit for past payments made in excess of his legal obligation. We affirm the judgment of the Superior Court.
