Clyde Albert Rowe v. State Florida

The chancellor entered a final decree of divorce in favor of the appellee-wife which, inter alia, contained a provision for the payment by the husband to the wife of the sum of $75 per week as support and maintenance, together with a lump sum of $5,000 as post demise alimony in the event of the husbands death prior to the remarriage or death of the appellee-wife, $25 per week support for a minor daughter, the establishment of a trust fund, in the amount of $8,400, for the use and benefit of a minor son in defraying expenses of his college education, and allowance to the wife of the sum of $15 per week for his support and maintenance if he should resided with her during the summer months. This trust fund created by the decree was conditioned upon the fact that if the son should discontinue his college education, then the court reserved the right, upon the husbands request, to dispose of any balance of the monies remaining in said trust fund. The wife was required to keep a strict accounting of the disbursements from the trust fund. The chancellor also awarded the wifes attorney a $1,500 fee and costs.
