Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the trial justice in this case terminating Defendant's marriage to Plaintiff on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, holding that the trial court did not err.
After a trial, the trial justice granted both Plaintiff's complaint and Defendant's counterclaim for divorce.

The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial justice did not misconceive evidence and was not clearly wrong in reaching several of his findings; (2) the trial justice did not err in addressing the debts Defendant owed to his parents; and (3) the trial justice did not err in failing to accord Defendant any of the marital appreciation of Plaintiff's premarital accounts.
