Christiansen v. Christiansen

STEWART, Justice:

This is an appeal from a modification of a divorce decree. The trial court granted a petition by plaintiff for increased child support, denied a cross-petition by defendant for decreased alimony, and awarded $200 in attorney’s fees to plaintiff. We affirm.

Defendant is a dentist specializing in root canal therapy. Plaintiff has a master’s degree in educational psychology. They were married in 1972 at the completion of defendant’s undergraduate degree. They have two children by their marriage, who at the time of the modification hearing were ages three years and eighteen months.
