“"As the Supreme Court of Alabama has stated, `. . . it is not necessarily a question as to what view the reviewing court might have of the evidence, but that if, under any reasonable aspect, the decree below is fairly supported by credible evidence, it is our duty to affirm.' See Lamar v. Lamar , 263 Ala. 391 , 82 So.2d 558 ; Rodgers v. Thornton , 254 Ala. 66 , 46 So.2d 809 ."”
