Batt and Batt

In Batt and Batt, 149 Ore. App. 517, 945 P.2d 517, rev den., 326 Ore. 233, 952 P.2d 60 (1997), the wife received assets of $ 1,048,745. Batt, 149 Ore. App. at 520. Her total income capacity from employment and investments was less than $ 45,000 per year. Batt, 149 Ore. App. at 521. The Court awarded permanent spousal support because of the wife's inability, given her other resources, to enjoy a lifestyle not overly disproportionate to that enjoyed during the marriage, and also because of her limited employment skills and training and her responsibility for the parties' autistic child. The Court also noted that the husband received the long half of the parties' assets. Batt, 149 Ore. App. at 523.
