A 95-year-old retired farmer from Nebraska has lost a legal battle with his 96-year-old ex-wife over alimony.

The Nebraska Supreme Court on Friday upheld a lower court ruling that requires Glenn Binder, of Pawnee City, to pay his former spouse, Laura binder, $3,302.60 month in alimony.

The pair of nonagenarians got married in 1982 while both were in their 60s. Each newlywed had children from previous relationships.

The Binders called it quits last year citing ‘irretrievable’ marriage.

In court filings, Mr Binder has accused Pawnee County District Judge Daniel Bryan Jr of abusing his power by ordering him to make alimony payments that exceed his monthly income.

But the state's high court ruled against the retired farmer, saying that the alimony amount was appropriate since he still owns more than 200 acres of farmland.

Binder, who currently lives in a mobile home, owned the land before he and Laura Binder tied the knot in 1982, and in divorce proceedings the property worth nearly $560,000 was classified as a premarital asset.
