Langerman v. Langerman

Lester Gutterman, Joseph K. Reichbart and Irving Rappaport for petitioner. Alfred Rathheim, Harold M. Hoffman and David L. Schreiber for respondent. his deceased father's $2,000,000 gross estate is settled. This order is, of course, subject to modification in the light of future diminution or increase of the respondent's income and the greater needs of the children as they grow older. Though the mother is now requesting what the court considers an unreasonable amount under present circumstances — $300 a week for the children — today's order is made substantially less in the hope it will encourage the respondent to continue voluntarily to provide the children with occasional toys or whatever gifts will satisfy him most. He feels justifiably that he would like the children to receive some contributions directly from him. This order of course relieves respondent of making payments for the children under the Nevada divorce decree.
