Pope v. Pope, 251 Neb. 773, 559 N.W.2d 192 (1997)<br />
Parent terminated from employment for sleeping on the job not entitled to reduction<br />
in alimony. Reduction in earnings does not rise to the “good cause” threshold.<br />
Simpson v. Simpson, 275 Neb. 152, 744 N.W.2d 710 (2008)<br />
[A]n increase in income is a circumstance that may be considered in determining<br />
whether alimony should be modified. … [A] party’s increase in income is considered<br />
in conjunction with changes in the other party’s situation.<br />
Although an increase in the income of the spouse paying maintenance is a relevant<br />
factor for the trial court to consider, it alone does not require the court to modify the<br />
amount of maintenance previously ordered.<br />
Alimony should not be used to equalize the incomes of the parties or to punish one<br />
of the parties.<br />
[A] petition to modify alimony will be denied if the change in financial condition is due<br />
to the fault or voluntary wastage or dissipation of one’s talents or assets.<br />
We do not consider … (personal differences with her employer, which precipitated<br />
the CP quitting her job)…. To be a material and substantial change of circumstances.<br />
[E]vidence of [the NCPs] increased income does not constitute, in and of itself, a<br />
material and substantial change in circumstances, without a proven increase in [the<br />
CPs] living expenses.<br />
Zoubenko v. Zoubenko, 19 Neb. App. 582 (March 2012)<br />
[T]he primary purpose of alimony is to assist an ex-spouse for a period of time<br />
necessary for that individual to secure his or her own means of support, and the<br />
duration of an alimony award must be reasonable in light of this purpose.<br />
Factors which should be considered by a court in determining alimony include: (1)<br />
the circumstances of the parties; (2) the duration of the marriage; (3) the history of<br />
contributions to the marriage, including contributions to the care and education of the<br />
children, and interruption of personal careers or educational opportunities; and (4)<br />
the ability of the supported party to engage in gainful employment without interfering<br />
with the interests of any minor children in the custody of each party. Kalkowski v.<br />
Kalkowski, supra. See Neb. Rev. Stat. § 42-365 (Reissue 2008).<br />
[A]limony should not be used to equalize the incomes of the parties or to punish one<br />
of the parties. Kalkowski v. Kalkowski, 258 Neb. 1035, 607 N.W.2d 517 (2000)<br />
