Calvin B. Thomas, Defendant-Below, Appellant v. Stacey L. Thomas, Plaintiff-Below, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s unequal distribution of marital property, its contempt determination and related remedial payment order, its refusal to retroactively modify interim alimony, and its partial award of attorney’s fees. It reversed the alimony ruling because the Family Court improperly excluded the principal of the Wife’s liquid inheritance from the financial resources considered in determining dependency. The matter was remanded for a new alimony determination that considers the full inheritance. No separate opinions were filed.
