Key legal question
Whether the district court committee violated the right to be heard by deciding without allowing the wife to comment on the issues reopened after remittal.
Extracted holding
No. She had the opportunity to address the relevant income questions at the divorce hearing, and those submissions were included through the file review.
Extracted reasoning
The husband’s income, the wife’s hypothetical income, and the minimum needs were dealt with in the main divorce proceedings; the committee could rely on those records, so the hearing right was not breached.
