Galligar v. Galligar
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided December 30, 2011No. 1D10-6108PublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtRowe, J.
The former husband appeals the trial court’s amended order granting his petition to reduce alimony payments to his former wife and directing him to pay a portion of the former wife’s attorney’s fees. Of the multiple issues raised by the former husband, we reverse on two. First, the trial court erred by modifying the permanent periodic alimony obligation to an amount which exceeded the former husband’s ability to pay. Second, the trial court erred in requiring the former husband to pay a portion of the former wife’s attorney’s fees.
