Timothy Taylor challenges the district court’s award of traditional spousal support to his former spouse, Yvonne Taylor. He also requests the parties’ income tax obligation be divided equally between the two. Both parties seek appellate attorney’s fees. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm, concluding the district court’s award of traditional spousal support was not excessive in amount and duration and Yvonne is unable to pay a tax burden created by Timothy’s substantial income. Yvonne is awarded appellate attorney fees, which will be determined on remand.
