The intent of the divorce settlement was met as well. She was to be provided for a period of time unless her life circumstance changed such that support was no longer necessary. Seeing as she will be living in public housing for 9 years, her financial need has improved dramatically. The decision seems not just to meet the letter of the decree, but also the underlying intent.
