In Re the Marriage of Hildegard Sinn, Petitioner v. Werner H. Sinn, Respondent

Summary

The court held that a maintenance award for a fixed duration remains modifiable under the governing statute unless the parties expressly agree to waive modification. It also held that the district court abused its discretion by limiting maintenance to two years because the evidence showed that the dependent spouse’s need for support would likely continue. The court reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent with those rulings.
