SABERS, Justice
(specially concurring).
Although I agree with the majority’s disposition of Issues II and III, I cannot agree that the trial court’s alimony award constituted an abuse of discretion. Under these circumstances, $625 per month for 48 months does not constitute an abuse of discretion. Gibson v. Gibson, 437 N.W.2d 170 (S.D.1989); Tate v. Tate, 394 N.W.2d 309 (S.D.1986); Temple v. Temple, 365 N.W.2d 561 (S.D.1985). This is so whether the name placed on the award is support, alimony or rehabilitative alimony. Hautala v. Hautala, 417 N.W.2d 879 (S.D.1988).
