ON MERITS
Division of property and fixing of alimony in a divorce case is within the sound discretion of the trial court. Killingsworth v. Killingsworth, 284 Ala. 524, 226 So.2d 308. The exercise of such discretion is reviewable only for determination of palpable error and abuse. In reviewing the decree of the trial court, such decree is presumed correct where the witnesses were heard by the court. Fox v. Fox, 48 Ala.App. 437, 265 So.2d 877. Such presumption of correctness is not overcome until upon consideration of all the evidence, the reviewing court determines the decree to be so contrary to and unsupported by the evidence as to be clearly wrong and unjust. Green v. Green, 47 Ala.App. 171, 252 So.2d 97.
We have carefully considered the evidence and argument of appellant. We will not supplant the judgment of the trial judge with our own, for we do not find his judgment to be clearly wrong and unjust under the evidence. Krieger v. Krieger, 276 Ala. 466, 163 So.2d 623; Porter v. Porter, 46 Ala.App. 22, 237 So.2d 507.
The decree below is affirmed.
Affirmed.
