In re Marriage of Richards
Annotate this CaseMark Richards and Dianna Richards were married in 1987 and separated in 2007. Dianna filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in 2008. In 2013, the district court issued a decree of dissolution. Mark appealed the court’s decree, challenging the district court’s calculation of the net worth of the marital estate and the distribution of the parties’ marital estate. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part, holding (1) the district court did not err in its valuation of the parties’ real property but erred in its calculation of the parties’ net worth; and (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in its distribution of the parties’ marital estate. Remanded for further factual findings regarding the parties’ net worth and for a recalculation of the marital estate’s total net worth.
