244 S.E.2d 12, 241 Ga. 169, 1978 Ga. LEXIS 910

Supreme Court of Georgia·Decided April 4, 1978·No. 33262·Published

Opinion

Hall, Justice.

Where undisputed figures show that for the six months prior to the divorce the former husband had averaged $884.80 net profit from his business, plus profit in an unknown amount on three houses taken in as part of a trade; and where he concedes that his business profits could be increased by some hundreds of dollars a month by reducing expenditures; and where he states that it costs him some $375-400 per month living expenses; and where former wife states that her monthly living expenses are $980.92, a jury verdict awarding her $475 per month alimony plus a house (on which former husband must pay $164 per month) plus a 1968 model automobile, is not excessive.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
