1Opinion of the Court

CLIFFORD, Justice.

[¶ 1] Stephen D. Adams appeals from a judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Calkins, J.) affirming a District Court (Portland, MacNichol, J.) judgment denying his motion to amend the divorce judgment to terminate his alimony liability to Mary (Adams) Dow as of the date of Dow’s remarriage.

Finding no error, we affirm.
