Newton Byrd Aaron, Iii, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Mary Catherine Aaron, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Tennessee Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court’s awards of permanent alimony, attorney’s fees, and education expenses, increasing alimony to $2,500 per month and remanding for a new determination of the required life‑insurance amount. The Court held that the appellate court erred in limiting alimony to six years, halving attorney’s fees, and eliminating education costs.
