Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama July 10, 1985, Civ. 4642 (Nowell v. Nowell)

This is a divorce case. The wife appeals, contending the award of periodic alimony and the division of property are inadequate. After an ore tenus hearing, the trial court in pertinent part awarded the wife periodic alimony of $500 per month for a period of ten years and, thereafter, for a second ten-year period unless the wife dies, remarries, or cohabits with a member of the opposite sex.
