Following a contested hearing on November 20, 2008, the court has carefully considered the testimony of the parties, the exhibits admitted at the hearing, the financial affidavits of the parties submitted at the hearing, the court file and the statutory criteria regarding motions to terminate or modify alimony in connection with Defendant’s Amended Postjudgment Motion to Terminate/Modify Alimony and now makes the following findings before entering its orders:
BY WAY OF FINDINGS
1. The marriage of the parties was dissolved on June 16, 1992 by way of an agreement which was incorporated into the Judgment. Alimony was set at $150.00 per week. That alimony was modified on August 25, 2000 to $300.00 per week and again on July 25, 2002 to $200.00 per week.
