Jorge A. Elliott v. Sarah H. Elliott

Petitioner Jorge A. Elliott appeals from the judgment of dissolution of a childless marriage of September 20, 1979, and the action of the trial court of October 5, 1979, overruling his motion to amend that judgment and opinion and for a new trial. The decree of dissolution set aside non-marital property to each party, divided the marital property, awarded maintenance in gross to Mrs. Elliott, and order Mr. Elliott to pay her attorney's fees, suit money and court costs as well as debts of the parties. We affirm the judgment as modified. Familiar tenets of judicial review require us to sustain the judgment of the trial court unless no substantial evidence supports it or it is against the weight of the evidence or the judgment either erroneously declares or applies the law. In this case the evidence supports the decree in all respects except as to the award of a baker's rack to Mrs. Elliott.
