do their degrees same way as we do in the united states but all agreed they are equivalent to a bachelor's and master's degree the husband put her through school he was employed in germany it and they were married and she wanted to attend school there are some creature trial matters but if i have time i'll get to that second stage hearing in this case was held in november of two thousand support the amount that there was no question and that the parties agreed it would be a twenty eight percent child support based on the guidelines that they had some disputes is the of the amount and then there were some medical insurance issues and my client wanted his sons to have some music education but he wanted some cost sharing not that the child support and the medical insurance and music are not pertinent to the appeal the appeal is essentially on the maiden aunts question when the wife testified she fully agreed her husband put her through school in life see germany that she obtained two degrees everything paid for by her at the time of the second stage she was living in a two bedroom one bath duplex the husband was living in  former marital house which was an older house near campus in carbondale they had joint custody they agreed on that very early on and the two sons spent roughly fifty percent of the time each received two hundred thirty dollars a month for the children through a german government program because they maintained their german citizenship to part time jobs and she was teaching in a private school in carbondale and then she did extensive babysitting for a family with four children after school and basically full time in  this all out we explain more here on temporary child support and without getting into any extensive detail she said you two need to go get this resolved and sends jobs what's the situation and i think we made it clear that this was a guideline case but he was arguing that we weren't and he was up twenty eight percent child support guidance but our position on that issue was that substitution should granted as a matter right because the court did not make any major decision and a substantial decision pursuant to the substitution if and the subsequent order that was presented to her a substantive ruling in the case she never had made to see if she didn't she make a decision to whether to agree or not agree to what the childhood education and i only have forty more semester hours this is all at johnny logan community college kyra and she's saying give me three to three and a half years of rehabilitative maintenance so i can get through school and forty semester hours at logan is it was ninety nine dollars an hour at the time which was the evidence which is like four thousand dollars  thousand seven hundred dollars cost ten thousand i'm my client was turned over to her seventy three thousand seven hundred dollars when everything was divided up and the accounting department that she could access it right away for school and not even pay that and percent penalty for early withdrawal retirement hyper pounds so our position was always that she sense given the financial situation given the property division given to her very good financial situation my client went into the second stage and running a deficit evidence to lay the evidence and we believe is an abuse of discretion and is clearly against the manifest weight of the evidence in this case the map is wrong marriage primarily been a homemaker she started work after she was separated from her has she did have the two degrees from germany are but they were mainly for studio for her painting drawing she was unable to teach with those degrees she had done some showings here in southern illinois that she only sold one hundred so there was no evidence that she had turned down in java to ease their relationship to those that's correct she did he still has equity in the home as well the more he john the home through the bank was paying are going to be paid off in may of two thousand been seen the money that he borrowed from his family was not attain a degree in early childhood education because she knew that she was going to have to be able to support herself in some point in time that she's got to get to that your honor she testify she roughly thirty hours more the she was hoping she'd be able to build down and just be able to work one part time job while she attended school and things turned in greek at this time she's just her part time job at the school to look at is what is the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage not what it takes to meet your minimum we are still believe that the trial court was correct in th even under the new statute before still must first determine if it means is even appropriate and that is what she did and again the goal is not just a neat ones in the neat it's a look at the do maintenance you do get into the issues of the case and whenever you're dealing with divorces priority division needs day to vision those are all substantial issues and the jack does get forty eight months i think him this was a long term marriage they were married for fourteen years yes i know mr writer that they were separated five years but when everything look at the time of the november two thousand and fourteen second stage hearing there was i believe thirty eight hundred thousand or so still hold on the mortgage to a low back in addition interest if the court looks at his financial statement that was updated for the trial he was in the hole he was in the hole every month before the court's ruling  that the court misinterpreted these factors and did not apply the evidence from the case properly to these factors which which mandates are reverse only factor we agreed on was the court found that this was a very frugal call and there was no real problem with the wife meet her standard of living because the standard of living  any any idea would be considered at trial nothing was addressed in the post trial pleadings the written closing arguments and although the trial court may have  degree which is thirty six to forty miles her attorneys in their closing say well here was forty eight months of it which was contrary to their own client's testimony and then the judge issues an order for one hundred miles of made i think when you review the evidence in this case as i said very fact specific case we have here
