Supreme Court of Arkansas

Don Davis, Appellant v. Cheryl Davis, Appellee

February 18, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 56

Summary

The court held that the divorce decree was a final, appealable order even though it allowed the parties a limited period to agree on aspects of property disposition. The decree resolved all property issues and supplied an enforceable judicial method for distributing the property if the parties could not agree. The court also held that the appellant's notice of appeal was timely because his timely motion for reconsideration and clarification extended the appeal period, and it remanded the case to the court of appeals for consideration of the merits.
