1Opinion of the Court

Undbrcofler, Justice.

Robert F. Knox filed a petition in the Superior Court of Muscogee County, Georgia, against Dorothea E. Knox seeking a reduction of alimony and child support payments. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant and the plaintiff appeals to this court. Held:

1. The judgment was not contrary to the evidence. A substantial decrease in the husband’s income or financial status since the date of the decree may warrant a decrease of alimony but does not demand it. Code Ann. § 30-221 (Ga. L. 1955, pp. 630, 631). It follows that there is no merit in this enumeration of error.
