Ehret v. Ehret
Annotate this CaseIn 2015, the district court entered a judgment of divorce and parental rights and responsibilities regarding the minor son of Husband and Wife. Husband appealed, arguing that the district court erred in determining his gross income and abused its discretion in distributing the parties’ marital property and awarding spousal support. The Supreme Court (1) vacated the court’s child support order and underlying gross income determination, as the divorce judgment contained no findings regarding Husband’s income, and therefore, the Court could not decide whether the district court’s findings were clearly erroneous; (2) vacated the order of spousal support, as the determination of Husband’s income provides a foundation for any award of spousal support; and (3) vacated the order distributing the parties’ property, as the district court must consider the determination of Husband’s income in crafting an equitable distribution of the parties’ assets and liabilities and must consider the consequences of its distributive order in assessing any award of spousal support.
