Thomas v. Hoffmann v. Ruth A. Hoffmann

Ruth A. Hoffmann, the defendant, was granted an uncontested divorce from the plaintiff, Thomas V. Hoffmann, as well as the
custody of their three minor children. No appeal is being taken on this portion of the decree. In a separate hearing the district
court determined the issues of alimony, child support, and division of property. The appeal herein involves only one question:
The size of the alimony award. We affirm. The factors to be considered by this court in the determination of the excessiveness or sufficiency of an alimony award are
well established. See Strasser v. Strasser (1950), 153 Neb. 288, 44 N.W.2d 508.
