## Opinion text

Concurring Opinion
Staton, J. — The ability of a party to earn must be coupled with the opportunity to earn before the trial court can determine earning power as a part of the financial situation. Otherwise, the trial court is limited to the present earning capacity evidence which it has before it. In the present case, there was no lack of opportunity evidence. The trial court inferred from the evidence that a man with the education of James A. Brown could earn more than a part-time clerk. This inference is justified.
Note. — Reported at 301 N.E.2d 400 .
