December 19, 1994

IN RE: Hester, Susan Gail; — Plaintiff(s); Applying for Writ of Certiorari and/or Review; Parish of Orleans Civil District Court Div. "N" Number 88-22789; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number 93CA-1665


Granted. See per curiam.

WATSON, J. not on panel.

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH CIRCUIT, PARISH OF ORLEANS STATE OF LOUISIANA


Writ granted. The judgment of the court of appeal reducing the permanent alimony award from $2,100.00 per month to $1,802.00 per month is reversed; the judgment of the trial court is reinstated.

The trial court is vested with much discretion in fixing the amount of alimony and such awards should not be disturbed absent a clear abuse of discretion. Hogan v. Hogan, 549 So.2d 267, 271 (La. 1989). Under the circumstances of the instant case, the court of appeal erred in concluding that the trial court abused its discretion in setting the award.
