A Court May Decline to Accept Claimed Expenses that Are Overstated and Unsupported. This is an appeal from a district court’s award of alimony in the aftermath of a contentious divorce. Wife contends that the court abused its discretion when it declined to accept her claimed expenses at face value–even when the claimed expenses by Wife had no relation to historical needs, exceeded the Husband’s take-home pay, were overstated, and Wife failed to provide credible evidence regarding finances and expenses–as opposed to Husband’s testimony which was credible, detailed and specific.
