20-2-6912 Ibrahim v. Mahmoud, N.J. Super. App. Div. (per curiam) (4 pp.) Defendant appealed the denial of his motion to terminate alimony. The parties were married and divorced in Egypt and that proceeding awarded no alimony to plaintiff. After the parties moved to New Jersey, plaintiff filed to register the Egyptian divorce in New Jersey and for alimony. The trial court granted those motions. Defendant filed to terminate alimony arguing that the court lacked jurisdiction to award alimony, plaintiff was not entitled to alimony and he was unable to pay. The trial court denied the motion. Plaintiff contended the court lacked jurisdiction because the parties were divorced in Egypt and he was not subject to personal jurisdiction in New Jersey because there was no evidence that he resided or owned property in New Jersey at the time of the divorce. The court found that the record showed that defendant lived in New Jersey throughout the matter and the court had in personam jurisdiction over him and the authority to award alimony.
