Frank Edward Mercer, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Lois Ionia Mercer, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of the wife's motion to modify a fixed-term spousal-support award. It held that, after the support term expired, all payments were made, and no appeal was taken from the divorce decree, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to reinstate or modify the obligation. The court therefore did not reach the parties' other arguments.
