Description
This is an appeal from the trial courts order dismissing appellants (Wifes) petition which sought to modify the marital dissolution decree by continuing appellees (Husbands) obligation to pay spousal maintenance beyond the date originally provided for its expiration. The issue is whether the trial court had legal authority to entertain Wifes petition for modification under the circumstances of this case. We conclude the trial court lacked authority to modify the decree of dissolution because Husbands spousal maintenance obligation constitutes a lump sum award. As such, it is not subject to modification even upon a showing of changed circumstances except possibly in the event of the death of either party or the remarriage of the spouse receiving maintenance.
