In re Marriage of Sisson
Annotate this CaseTravis and Alfronia Sisson divorced in 2008. The next year, Alfornia was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer. In 2011, Travis filed an action to modify the divorce decree, and Alfronia responded with her own claim for modification. The district court (1) denied Travis’s request to modify the custody arrangement; (2) modified alimony by increasing the monthly amount, retroactive to the date Alfronia filed her application to modify; (3) extended the spousal support payments for the remainder of Alfronia’s life; and (4) ordered Travis to pay one-half of the medical expenses incurred by Alfronia not covered by her insurance plan. The Supreme Court affirmed as modified, holding that Alfronia established a change in circumstances to support a modification of spousal support.
