Under this law, terms such as alimony were removed from state law. Payments by one party to another are now supposed to be based upon need without regard to the sex of the spouse. Furthermore, judges in divorge actions are required to consider various factors when awarding '\maintenance'' payments to either spouse. These include the income and property of each spouse, both at the time of marriage and at the start of the divorce proceeding; the duration of the marriage and the age and health of the spouses; the contributions and services of a partner as a spouse; the contributions and services of a partner as a spouse, parent, homemaker, and wage earner and to the \career\ or \career potential\\ of the other; and, the standard of living during the marriage and the probable future financial circumstances of each party. When these factors have been considered, the judge is to make an \equitable\ distribution of the property. Under the proposal now before the legislature, a judge would have to divide the assets of a marriage equally unless that judge determines such a division would be unjust or inequitable. In other words, under the existing law, the judge decides what is equitable while under the proposed § amendments, the judge would simply assume that an equal division is fair unless special cireamstances indicate otherwise. Those who seek to have this, smeadment passed into law say that the divorce cases tettled since the 1980 atiend- ment - show that - the bomemaker or spouse earning the lesser amount of money is not being treated as having contributed equally to the accumulation of marital deel d interest and heated detate scrroumcng this issse and 1 wil keep you farmed of the propesal's stains.

Woman OK Niagara River NIAGARA FALLS, 0 t. (UPI) - The rescuer of a young woman who narrowly escaped plunging over the Niagara River's 161-foot Horseshoe Falls said it was \a fluke\ he was nearby when she fell into the water. Sherry Vyverberg, 20, of Rochester, N.Y., was spending Memorial Day relaxing with friends on a ledge near the Ontario Hydroelectric Power Plant when she fell 20 feet into the rapids. The swirling current dragged Ms. Vyverberg to within 140 yards of the brink of the Falls. John Marsh, a welder for the Canadian Niagara Power Co., was on his way with two other workers to pick up equipment they had forgotten when Ms. Vyverberg's friends flagged their truck down. \It was a fluke. We had forgotten out hard hats, or we wouldn't have been going that way,\ Marsh said. \And because of company policy, we had a safety rope behind the seat.\ Marsh tied the rope around his waist and a railing, dived into the river and pulled Ms. Vyverberg out of the current. By the time he reached her 75 yards from shore, she was not only drifting toward the falls, but also was in danger of being sucked into the power plant's intake valves. Ms. Vyverberg said she feared she would drown. \I remember being in the water, and fighting, but not being able to get to the surface,\ she said, after being treated and released from Greater Niagara General Hospital. Only one person, a seven year-old boy from Niagara Falls, N.Y., has survived an accidental plungeover the falls. Roger Woodward was wearing a life preserver on July 9, 1960 when he went over the center of the falls on the American side and missed the rocks below.
