Description
This appeal involves the authority of a superior court Judge to modify a divorce decree. It is contended that no motion to modify the decree was properly before the Judge; that the modification was made without affording Mrs. Johnson an opportunity to be heard in violation of her constitutional due process rights; and that the court lacked jurisdiction to modify the trust provisions contained in the original decree. It is also alleged that the trial court erred in its modification of the decree by appointing a guardian ad litem and trustee, finding that a transfer of property by Mrs. Johnson was unlawful and ordering the use of unpaid back alimony to replenish the trust assets for any loss occasioned by that transfer. Due to the importance of rendering a prompt decision so that the rights of the parties and their children would not be prejudiced by additional delay, we entered an order on September 29, 1975 immediately after hearing oral argument. Our order affirmed the order of the superior court modifying the decree and indicated that this opinion would follow.
