Plaintiff-Appellee-Cross-Appellant,
v
No. 257737
St. Clair Circuit Court
LC No. 93-001962-DO
NORBERT PAUL CZAJKOWSKI,
Defendant-Appellant-Cross-
Appellee.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and Sawyer and Meter, JJ.
SAWYER, J. (concurring in part and dissenting in part).
Although I concur with most of the majority’s opinion, I respectfully dissent from that
portion upholding the alimony decision.
While I was a member of the panel in the original appeal in this case which decided that
the trial court’s alimony award of $62,400 per year for eight years was inadequate, I did not
envision the award being raised to the extent that it has. While that initial award may have been
inadequate, the current award is grossly excessive. I would hold that the trial court abused its
discretion in the amount of alimony awarded, and I would remand with directions to the trial
court to reduce the alimony award to a reasonable amount.
/s/ David H. Sawyer
