ANNOTATION
Although the agreement and the decree refer to "alimony" rather than to "maintenance" payments, the Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act governs these proceedings because the petition for dissolution was filed subsequent to the effective date of that statute. In re Udis, 780 P.2d 499 (Colo. 1989).
Applied in Wilkinson v. Wilkinson, 41 Colo. App. 364, 585 P.2d 599 (1978); Bradshaw v. Bradshaw, 626 P.2d 752 (Colo. App. 1981); In re Perlmutter, 772 P.2d 621 (Colo. 1989).
