Facts
After twenty years of marriage H and W divorced and H was ordered to pay W alimony of $250 per week and child support of $375 per week for their three children. H was also ordered to pay half the monthly mortgage on the marital home and all private school tuition for the children. At the time of the decree, H signed a new contract with his employer that provided for significant salary increases, and within 5 years H's salary would increase 150% to $250,000 per year. W filed a motion for increased alimony and child support. The court ruled that an increase in the noncustodial parent's income was by itself was an insufficient basis to modify a support order. The trial court did find that there had been a modest increase in needs and increased child support by $45 per week and alimony from $250 per week to $350 per week and once W finished law school the alimony would be decreased by $200 per week. W appealed.
