Kelly v. Kelly
Annotate this CaseJohn Kelly appealed a divorce decree granting Christy Kelly a divorce, arguing (1) the circuit court erred in finding that Christy's stock in Tarco Roofing Materials (TRM) was nonmarital property, and (2) the circuit court erred in finding John liable for one-half of the deficiency resulting from the sale of the marital home. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded, holding Christy acquired an enforceable right when she acquired her shares of TRM stock during her marriage, and therefore the circuit court erred in finding that the TRM stock was nonmarital property. Because the case was reversed for further proceedings relating to the division of property, the Court did not address John's second issue.
