Supreme Court of Delaware

Clarke v. Charles

April 8, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court's equitable distribution of the parties' marital estate. The Court held that the Family Court properly considered the statutory factors, supported its factual findings with the evidence, and did not abuse its discretion in ordering an equal division, sale of the marital home, and specified payments. The Court also upheld the inclusion of the full annuity value because Husband failed to provide timely evidence establishing the premarital portion.
