Ex-husband sufficiently demonstrated that change in circumstances arising from his more than 50% reduction in income was “permanent,” entitling him to reduction of his alimony payment to ex-wife; it was undisputed that ex-husband had been earning the substantially reduced income for about two years at time of hearing, having taken job that paid only on commission, wide fluctuations in income made predicting the future a difficult task, nothing suggested that other more experienced employees in new position were making incomes substantially higher than ex-husband’s, and ex-husband was approaching retirement age.
