handle is hein.ali/alifm0038 and id is 1 raw text is: THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE Spring 2024 Citations PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF FAMILY DISSOLUTION: ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CHAPTER 5. COMPENSATORY SPOUSAL PAYMENTS TOPIC 1. INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS § 5.01 Scope Iowa.2023. Com. (a) quot. in disc. Wife filed marriage-dissolution proceedings against husband. After the trial court ordered wife to pay husband $3,000 per month in rehabilitative spousal support for four years, the court of appeals modified the award to require wife to instead pay $5,000 per month in transitional support for seven years. This court reversed in part, holding that transitional support was inappropriate, because husband had sufficient liquid assets to meet his immediate needs and that type of support was typically awarded to help spouses for a short period of time to resolve a liquidity crunch following a divorce; the trial court's order directing wife to pay rehabilitative support was consistent with Iowa caselaw and was what husband needed to improve his skills and retool his business plan to increase his income. The court cited § 5.01 of the Principles of Family Dissolution in noting that, while the theoretical justification for the provision of spousal support had not been well-developed, Iowa courts had explained that the amount and duration of a support award had to be tailored to achieve the underlying purpose of the award.
