Family Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Booth, George

 

AC41795 - Moyher v. Moyher (Marital dissolution; claim that trial court improperly found that certain real property located in New Hampshire was marital asset; "The defendant, Paul J. Moyher III, appeals from the judgment of the trial court dissolving his marriage to the plaintiff, Sarah A. Moyher, and entering related financial orders. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court abused its discretion by (1) finding that certain real property located in New Hampshire was a marital asset and awarding the plaintiff 40 percent of its value, (2) not allowing the defendant to present evidence at trial regarding a prenuptial agreement between the parties, and (3) ordering the defendant to pay the plaintiff her awarded share of the New Hampshire real property, $150,750 plus interest, within five months of the dissolution judgment. We disagree with the defendant's first two claims; however, we agree that the court abused its discretion in ordering the defendant to pay the plaintiff her share of the New Hampshire property within five months of the dissolution judgment. Accordingly, we reverse that part of the judgment of the trial court and remand for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.")
