3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Lay v. Lay · Stephens v. Stephens“We are not aware of any Utah authority requiring a district court to find that [a substantial material change in circumstances] has occurred simply because one party's income has increased and the divorce decree did not discuss possible increases in income. Were it otherwise, creeping inflation could necessitate recalculation of nearly all alimony awards on an annual or biennial basis.”
