Allen W. Heustess, Appellant v. Bonnie J. Kelley-Heustess, Appellee — Fabe, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting…

Summary

Justice Fabe would affirm the superior court’s unequal distribution of the marital estate and enhanced attorney-fee award without remanding for additional findings. She reasoned that the trial court’s detailed findings supported the property division and separately connected Allen’s vexatious litigation conduct to the fee award, not to any improper double counting in the property division. Justice Winfree, dissenting in a separate opinion, would have held that Bonnie’s reimbursement claim was subject to the ten-year statute of limitations and was not tolled during the child’s minority.
