Marriage of Clune
Elizabeth Adrienne Clune challenges a spousal support modification that includes automatic step-downs starting in 2014. Though appellant stipulated to step-downs when the dissolution judgment was entered in 2006, she now regrets the agreement she negotiated and wants it rewritten. The trial court decided to hold appellant to her goal of self-sufficiency and declined to eliminate the parties’ agreed-upon step-downs. The burden remains on appellant to petition for modification in the future if she fails to achieve her goal. The court’s ruling was not an abuse of discretion.
