2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Baker v. Baker · Pala v. Loubser“"The statute [LC. 31-1-11.5-9(c) (Burns Code Ed.Supp.1978) ] merely compels the trial court to make inquiry and 'find' whether there exists incapacity and material effect upon the spouse's self-supportive ability before awarding maintenance. The 'finding' required by the statute is implicit in the grant or denial of maintenance and need only be supported by sufficient evidence of record."”
