White v. White

The sole question in this appeal is whether the earnings of a judgment debtor for his personal services are exempt from execution on a judgment for unpaid alimony. The District Court held such earnings exempt. We affirm.

On February 22, 1980, appellant Mildred White obtained a judgment for delinquent alimony payments against respondent Manual White in the Superior Court of Spokane, Washington. This judgment was sued upon in the District Court of Lewis and Clark County, Montana in May, 1980, and reduced to judgment in the sum of $39,502.65 in the Montana Court in December , 1980.
