Description
It would be of little benefit to the parties, and of no value to the bar, to even summarize the evidence in this case, for, as we said in Fitzgerald v. Fitzgerald, 1962, 70 N.M. 11, 369 P.2d 398, as to the power to grant alimony, "* * * on appeal this court examines the evidence only to determine whether the trial court abused its discretion in fixing an amount which was contrary to all reason. * * *" We have carefully reviewed the transcript and cannot say that the award of alimony amounted to an abuse of discretion. We decline to substitute our judgment for that of the trial court, being satisfied that the award is supported by substantial evidence and not contrary to law. There is no fixed rule by which the amount of permanent alimony can be determined, since each case must be decided upon its own relevant facts, in the light of what is fair and reasonable.
