Description
WRIGHT, Presiding Judge Shirley and Robert Cheek were divorced in January 1982. The decree of divorce incorporated a separation agreement of the parties concerning payment of alimony. In January 1985, the husband filed a petition to terminate the alimony, due to the wife's remarriage. The husband's petition was based on Section 30-2-55, Code of Alabama 1975, which requires the termination of periodic alimony upon the remarriage of the party receiving such alimony. The wife filed a petition for the husband to be held in contempt for failure to pay according to the decree. The trial court denied the husband's petition to terminate alimony, finding that the agreement between the parties, which was incorporated in the divorce decree, provided for alimony in gross, and not for periodic alimony to which § 30-2-55 would apply. The court also held the husband in contempt for willfully failing to make payments as ordered, assessed the husband $500 for the wife's attorney fees, and denied the husband's motion for new trial. The husband appeals. We affirm.
