Thomas E. Jordan v. Cheryl A. Jordan

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s rejection of Thomas’s marital-waste claim but vacated the property division and remanded for reconsideration of the future-earning-capacity calculations and the treatment of VA disability benefits. It held that the superior court could consider the parties’ future income and financial circumstances, but it erred by using inaccurate work-life calculations, failing to address tax consequences, and awarding an amount that directly offset a putative marital share of nondivisible disability benefits.
