Laura Aubert, Personal Representative of the Estate of David L. Aubert v. Debra J. Wilson, f/k/a Debra J. Aubert

Summary

The court held that the superior court made several errors in classifying marital and separate property and debt, including the Missouri property, boat, vehicles, and credit-card debt. It affirmed the valuation of the mechanic’s tools and held that an unequal division favoring the surviving spouse was not, by itself, an abuse of discretion, although reliance on a conditional agreement to assume the marital mortgage was improper. The court vacated or reversed the affected rulings and remanded for additional findings and redistribution.
