Peter Brave, Appellant v. Marie Brave, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court denied Marie Brave’s motion to dismiss the appeal, affirmed the circuit court’s classification and division of the restaurant’s goodwill as marital corporate goodwill, and upheld the alimony award. The court concluded that the evidence showed the goodwill was marketable independently of Peter’s personal presence and that the reduced alimony award did not impermissibly duplicate the goodwill distribution. The court vacated the court of appeals’ opinion.
