MORGAN, Justice
(concurring specially).
I join in the special concurrence of the Chief Justice. It appears that Bill changed his job at a rather inopportune time. As the trial court noted in its findings of fact, “plaintiff was attempting to have his income reduced when he knew the defendant and the minor child were requiring his best financial efforts.” The reason that he quit his $43,000 job to take the $24,000 job was the opportunity to work into ownership, which is obviously an additional consideration to Bill over and above his present income.
I agree that the alimony award requires some modification, but not based solely on Bill’s present income.
