“. . [C]are should be exercised so that any payments to equalize the division of property are not included with payments for future support denominated as alimony.” (Herzmark v. Herzmark, 199 Kan. 48, 52 , 427 P. 2d 465 .)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““[T]his case is controlled by Herzmark v. Herzmark, 199 Kan. 48 , 427 P.2d 465 . In that case three members of this court were of the view that the remarriage of a recipient of alimony should operate ipso facto to terminate the obligation to pay future alimony. The majority were unable to go so far, but did hold that proof of remarriage makes a prima facie case requiring termination of future alimony unless the recipient proves special circumstances justifying its continuance. No such evidence was introduced here, and Herzmark would appear to dictate a reversal.” 208 Kan. at 148-49 .”
