In re the Marriage of Simmons

Husband appeals from a judgment modifying a judgment of dissolution. He argues that the trial court erred in failing to terminate his spousal support obligation and in requiring him to maintain a $50,000 life insurance policy with his wife as the beneficiary. Wife cross-appeals, arguing that the trial court erred in reducing her spousal support from $500 per month to $200 per month and in awarding attorney fees to husband. We review de novo, ORS 19.125(3), and affirm as to the award of spousal support, but reduce the amount of life insurance.

Husband and wife’s 24-year marriage was dissolved…
