Court entered judgment for dissolution of marriage. Court's finding that no prima facie case of fraud on wife's marital rights remained, including as to husband's transfer of trusts, was not against manifest weight of evidence; trusts were not created proximate to husband's contemplation of divorce, and estate plan predated divorce by fix years. Court within its discretion in distributing marital assets; husband is in good health and has college degrees, and has significant nonmarital assets; wife has college degrees but has been homemaker since birth of first child. Court's maintenance order of $6,000 per month, and zero for child support, was not an unallocated award, and contravenes statutory right to modify child support. (JORGENSEN and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
