Blakemore v. Blakemore

The leading case with respect to termination of sustenance alimony in Ohio, Wolfe v. Wolfe (1976), 46 Ohio St. 2d 399 [75 O.O.2d 474], stated at page 414:

“Any grant of ‘alimony’ for sustenance is necessarily co-extensive with the court’s determination that it is needed and warranted. Such authentication and supervision is accomplished through the continuing jurisdiction of the court.”

Then, in Cherry v. Cherry (1981), 66 Ohio St. 2d 348 [20 O.O.3d 318], this court stated at page 355:

“* * * A trial court must have discretion to do what is equitable upon the facts and circumstances of each case.
