Van Loon v. Van Loon

I concur in the majority opinion in this case for the following reasons:

First. The decree dated October 1, 1929, awarded to the wife the sum of $50.00 per month as permanent alimony. The court by the terms thereof did not retain jurisdiction of the cause. The Court below was without authority to change, alter or amend this final decree in the absence of a showing of fraud. See Duss v. Duss, 92 Fla. 108, 111 So. 382; Gaffny v. Gaffny, 129 Fla. 172, 176 So. 68; Mooty v. Mooty, 131 Fla. 151, 179 So. 155, and Kennard v. Kennard, 131 Fla. 473, 179 So. 660. See Schouler on Marriage and Divorce,…
