Sheila Beth Sparks N/k/a Sheila Beth Vaden, Appellant and Cross-Appellee v. Richard Alan Sparks, Appellee And…

Summary

The court affirmed nearly all aspects of the superior court’s equitable distribution of the parties’ property. It held that the settlement annuity was marital because the evidence supported a finding that the wife intended to donate the disputed portion to the marital unit, while the retiree health benefits were separate because their value was earned before marriage. The court remanded for clarification or further findings concerning the personal-property agreement and valuation, the pre-separation portion of the Discover-card debt, and the amount of repairs needed at the Caskill residence.
