Joan Barrett Pittsinger Grinold v. Raymond Wade Grinold

Summary

The court held that the trial court improperly modified and terminated periodic alimony without a clear and definite showing of a substantial change in circumstances. The trial court's finding that the wife had been rehabilitated from adverse socioeconomic consequences of the marriage was an unsupported and legally insufficient substitute for the required changed-circumstances finding. The judgment was set aside and the case was remanded for judgment in favor of the wife.
