108 N.H. 469 (1968)

SALLY D. COLLETTE v. VICTOR L. COLLETTE.

Supreme Court of New Hampshire.

Decided February 29, 1968.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wayne J. Mullavey for the plaintiff, filed no brief.

Shaw & Eldredge (Mr. Carleton Eldredge orally), for the defendant.


KENISON, C. J.

This case presents the common but difficult question of deciding what is an equitable division of a husband's salary for the benefit of his divorced wife and minor children. Neither the Legislature nor this court has devised any litmus test that guarantees Solomonic certainty in determining the maximum or minimum amount of support that a wife and minor children are entitled to receive or the amount of salary that a husband is entitled to retain.
