M1997-00218-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a former spouse's efforts to extricate himself from the spousal support obligations contained in a marital dissolution agreement. Approximately one year after the entry of the divorce decree approving the agreement, the former husband requested the Chancery Court for Putnam County to set the agreement aside because he did not have independent legal advice and his judgment was impaired by antidepressant medication when he signed the agreement. The trial court modified portions of the decree but did not relieve the former husband of his spousal support obligation. Thereafter, the former husband filed a second motion seeking to terminate or reduce his spousal support obligations because of his former wife's improved financial circumstances. The trial court again declined to relieve the former husband of his obligation to pay spousal support. On this appeal, the former husband renews his argument that he should no longer be required pay spousal support because of his former wife's improved financial circumstance and his own weakened financial condition. We affirm the trial court's decision that the former husband has failed to prove the existence of a substantial, material change in circumstances that would warrant modifying his spousal support obligation.

01A01-9707-CH-00295

We have reviewed appellee's Petition to Rehear. Counsel correctly points out that the Education Improvement Act of 1992 specified certain duties in the County Administration of education. The two sections cited [T.C.A. 49-2- 301(f)(10) and T.C.A. 49-2-203(a)(1)] do refer to "recommendation" of the superintendent to the local board of education. It is the duty of the superintendent to recommend teachers who qualify and the board "elects" such teachers to tenure status as it deems appropriate.
