Second District Reverses Denial of Modification

The Second District Court of Appeal reversed today in Morrell v. Morrell, a case in which modification of alimony was denied to the payor in part on the basis of his substantial relationship.  The Second District reversed in part on the basis that the payee is the only one whose supportive relationship is relevant for alimony modification purposes.  Because it was unclear what weight this particular issue was given by the lower court, the entire denial of modification was reversed for reconsideration without consideration of the Former Husband’s relationship.
