Opinion

33262.

ARGUED FEBRUARY 14, 1978.

DECIDED APRIL 4, 1978.

Alimony. Dougherty Superior Court. Before Judge Farkas.

Smith, Geer, Brimberry Kaplan, Stephen J. Kaplan, for appellant.

Black Black, Eugene C. Black, Sr., for appellee.


Where undisputed figures show that for the six months prior to the divorce the former husband had averaged $884.80 net profit from his business, plus profit in an unknown amount on three houses taken in as part of a trade; and where he concedes that his business profits could be increased by some hundreds of dollars a month by reducing expenditures; and where he states that it costs him some $375-400 per month living expenses; and where former wife states that her monthly living expenses are $980.92, a jury verdict awarding her $475 per month alimony plus a house (on which former husband must pay $164 per month) plus a 1968 model automobile, is not excessive.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.


ARGUED FEBRUARY 14, 1978 — DECIDED APRIL 4, 1978.
