Description
The husband, Harrell Charles Murray, appeals from a final judgment of dissolution of an 18-year marriage which, among other things, awarded the marital home to the wife, Mary Anne Murray. Appellant raises three points on appeal: (1) Whether the trial court abused its discretion in awarding the wife sole ownership of the marital home based on expenditures made during the marriage and the husbands alleged marital misconduct, (2) whether the trial court erred in failing to consider jewelry purchased by the parties during the marriage as a marital asset subject to equitable distribution, and (3) whether the trial court abused its discretion in requiring the husband to pay $615 per month in child support. We find no error as to the amount of child support, and affirm as to that issue without further discussion. We find, however, that the trial court erred in awarding the marital home to the wife based upon the alleged misconduct of the husband which took place several years prior to the breakup of the marital relationship. We also determine that the trial judge made insufficient findings concerning equitable distribution of the wifes jewelry to permit proper appellate review of that issue. We, therefore, reverse the equitable distribution scheme adopted by the trial court.
