203 N.W. 966 | Minn. | 1925
There were two mortgages upon the quarter section. The junior one was foreclosed and title passed. The plaintiff no longer had a lien. There is evidence that the defendant intended going to Canada after the sale of his personal property, taking its proceeds. There is evidence, not denied by him, that he had said that the plaintiff would get no more payments of alimony. He had been dilatory in paying the first $2,000, and coercive measures had been necessary.
The statute authorizes the court to make the award of alimony "a specific lien upon any specified parcels of his real estate." G.S. 1923, § 8602; G.S. 1913, § 7128. It does not authorize making it a lien upon personal property; and in Longbotham v. Longbotham,
The statute provides further that the court may "revise and alter such order or decree respecting the amount of such alimony or allowance, and the payment thereof * * * and may make any order respecting any of the said matters which it might have made in the original action." And upon the failure of the husband to pay "the court may sequester his personal estate, * * * appoint a receiver thereof, and cause such personal estate * * * to be applied according to the terms of such order or decree." G.S. 1923, §§ 8603, 8604; G.S. 1913, §§ 7129, 7130.
There was no impropriety in modifying the decree under the facts which we have stated, so as to make the alimony immediately payable. In principle Roberts v. Roberts,
Affirmed.
