Wanda S. Self, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Charles Cooper Self, Defendant-Appellee

Summary

The Court held that the rehabilitative alimony award was alimony in solido and therefore was not subject to modification, despite being payable monthly and terminating upon the wife's death or remarriage. The award's purpose, fixed amount, and definite four-year term controlled over the contingencies attached to payment. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court's judgment.
