defendant were divorced in Reno, Nevada. The
defendant then was, and still is, a practicing
physician. A separation agreement, hereinafter

on July 9, and at the parties' request it was
approved by the court and incorporated in the
divorce decree. By the terms of the agreement,
jurisdiction was expressly retained by the court
to modify, "as circumstances in the future may
then warrant," the provisions with regard to
alimony for the plaintiff, support for the three
minor children, their custody, and the defendant's
visitation rights. Actually, the decree has never
been modified. The minor children have become of

The agreement provided that the payments for the
support of the plaintiff should cease upon her
remarriage, but it did not mention remarriage by
the defendant, although the divorce was absolute. The plaintiff, now a resident of Maine, instituted

the alimony payments due her under the judgment of
divorce. The relief sought by her includes money
