Highlight

A spousal support award resulting from the parties' stipulation should be modified by the trial court only upon a showing of a material change in circumstances.
The party advocating the modification bears the burden of proving a material change occurred.
An award of attorney fees is an abuse of discretion when the prevailing party failed to show need, inability to pay, how the fees were incurred, or that the appeal was frivolous.
