Hager , 293 Ala. 47 , 299 So.2d 743 , aff'd, 53 Ala. App. 740 , 299 So.2d 751 (1974). This court has since looked to *Page 1064 that decision for guidance. The court therein said: " ' "Alimony in gross" is the present value of the wife's inchoate marital rights — dower, homestead, quarantine, and distributive share. It is payable out of the husband's present estate as it exists at the time of divorce. . . . On the other hand, "periodic alimony" is an allowance for the future support of the wife payable from the current earnings of the husband.' "”
