Questão jurídica principal
Whether the asset comparison must be made against the facts found in the divorce judgment or against the wife's actual later assets.
Decisão extraída
The modification court is bound by the findings underlying the divorce judgment; the relevant comparison is with the assets established in that judgment, not with a possibly different historical reality.
Fundamentação extraída
A modification of a divorce judgment is not a revision of it. Therefore the prior factual basis remains binding for assessing whether circumstances have changed.
