Ann Jacobsen v. Philip G. Jacobsen

Summary

The court upheld termination of the plaintiff's alimony because the trial court reasonably found a substantial, unanticipated change in circumstances: the plaintiff was employed, had earning capacity and assets, and no longer had custody or support obligations for the parties' child. The court deferred to the trial court's assessment of the parties and the evidence and rejected the plaintiff's claims concerning omitted findings and evidentiary rulings. The court also concluded that the trial court had not improperly relied on the disfavored concept of rehabilitation.
