Melrod v. Melrod

The Circuit Court for Montgomery County, by judgment of absolute divorce dated 31 January 1989, terminated the marriage of Joseph K. Melrod and Ann Marie Melrod, awarded the wife alimony of $2,500 per month for twelve months, ordered the sale of certain jointly owned real estate, granted the wife a monetary award of $250,000, and awarded her counsel fees in the amount of $45,000. Upon Mr. Melrods motion to alter or amend the judgment, the court passed an order on 30 June 1989, revising some of its calculations with regard to marital property, adjusting the manner of payment of the monetary award, and reducing the amount of Mrs. Melrods counsel fees to be paid by Mr. Melrod from $45,000 to $40,000.
