H and W married, and W was floating in money.

H was 37 and in good physical health but with impaired mental health and in possession of $200,000 in assets that he got from his wife during their nine-year marriage. The judge awarded H $30,000 in lump sum alimony and $5,000 per month for 18 months in rehabilitative alimony. Both parties appealed claiming the judge abused his discretion.
