OUTCOME: succeeded in reversing award of "savings alimony"

Trial judge awarded alimony which included a component for future savings based on the parties' standard of living. The ruling was affirmed at the appellate district level, but reversed by the Supreme ... Court which acceped our argument that the award wrongfully was exceeding the "need" analysis and was effectively making a future award of nonmarital assets.
