Overview: A permanent periodic alimony award of $ 492 a month to a husband was reversed; it was clear from the duration of the parties' marriage, the disparity in the parties' incomes, and the fact of the husband's severe diabetes that the trial court abused its discretion in awarding him only $ 492 a month in permanent alimony.

Overview: The record did not support a downward departure sentence due to "extreme duress"; although extreme duress was a mitigating factor enumerated in Fla.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's downward departure sentence was proper because, although the trial court did not find an " isolated incident" requirement under Fla.
