Description
This is an action involving divorce and alimony. Theodore Thelmer Colley, appellant, sued his wife, Helen Barrs Colley, for a judgment of absolute divorce. She counterclaimed for an absolute divorce from him, for custody of their infant child and for alimony. The trial judge awarded the wife an absolute divorce; awarded her custody of the infant as the husband had agreed; awarded the wife an undivided one-half interest in the residence of the parties, the record title to which was in the joint names of the husband and wife, the wife and infant daughter had the right to occupy it until the child attained her majority, completed college, or was emancipated; adjudged that the husband pay $150 a month for support of the child and pay his wife $48,960 lump-sum alimony in periodic payments or in a gross sum as the husband might elect. The husband appeals on the ground that the total allowance to the wife is excessive. We have concluded that the determination of the husbands net worth made by the trial judge is unauthorized by the evidence; hence, under existing law, the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded for a redetermination on this issue. We have also concluded that the time has arrived to correct, clarify, and restate the law in this jurisdiction applicable to the principal problems presented in the instant case.
