No. S-1505.

755 P.2d 1111 (1988)

Ben L. HILLIKER, Appellant, v. Virginia D. HILLIKER, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Alaska.

June 3, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sema E. Lederman, Kenneth P. Eggers, Groh, Eggers & Price, Anchorage, for appellant.

Max F. Gruenberg, Jr., Gruenberg & Clover, Anchorage, for appellee.

Before RABINOWITZ, C.J., and BURKE, MATTHEWS, COMPTON and MOORE, JJ.


OPINION

MATTHEWS, Justice.

Permanent alimony may be awarded when it is "just and necessary." AS 25.24.160(3). We have repeatedly held that such an award should not be made where the court can provide for the reasonable needs of the spouse seeking alimony from the property available for division in a divorce proceeding. Where property can provide support, alimony is neither just nor necessary. Miller v. Miller, 739 P.2d 163
