Description
The wife, plaintiff-appellee, Bette C. Lancaster, age 49, sued the husband, defendant-appellant, Edd T. Lancaster, age 50, for divorce on the basis of cruel and inhuman treatment and adultery. In her pleadings she further sought a division of the marital property of the parties and alimony pendente lite. In a discovery deposition taken prior to trial the husband admitted adultery. At trial plaintiff sought permanent alimony though there was never any formal amendment of her complaint seeking that relief. The proof reflected that the parties net worth was $1,000,000.00, composed of very liquid assets. After a bench trial, Mrs. Lancaster received the divorce on both fault grounds alleged. The trial court awarded her $500,000.00 as a division of jointly held property. Further, the trial Judge awarded the wife $250,000.00 as alimony in solido. The husband appeals.
