Rand v. Rand

An announcer for a soap opera would bill this proceeding as yet another episode in the continuing saga of the Rand family -- the eternal, endless quest by Florence Rand to maximize the contribution of her former husband Robert toward the support of their daughter Virginia, and the equally determined effort by Robert to pay as little as he must. Unfortunately, this is not a soap opera. Real people are involved; and, for the fourth time in less than seven years an appellate court of this State is called upon to resolve the post-marital financial disputes between these warring parties. Would only that Virginia have had the benefit of the fortune invested in this seemingly interminable litigation.
