Maybe alimony orders ought to have sunset provisions, to coincide with the sunset years of life. Court of Appeals Judge James E. Lockemy, who wrote wistfully last week in a concurring opinion about the role of age and work in alimony, might like that. Though he agreed with his colleagues’ ruling in Fuller v. Fuller that age alone should not determine whether alimony can be reduced, Lockemy waxed poetic about the advancing years and the need for time to enjoy life’s extras.
