Supreme Court of Arkansas

John K. Kelly, Appellant v. Christian Snowden Kelly, Appellee

December 22, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 673

Summary

The court affirmed the divorce decree on direct appeal, holding that Christy could seek an unequal distribution of the marital stock after remand, that the circuit court adequately explained its award of all the stock to her, and that the mandate permitted the court to address the marital-home deficiency. It also affirmed the order allowing Christy to deposit alimony into the court registry because John cited no supporting authority. The conditional cross-appeal concerning intervention was moot because the direct appeal was affirmed. Justice Hart, dissenting, would have reversed the property distribution and related payment orders, and Special Justice Grimes separately disagreed with allowing alimony to remain in the registry.
