Supreme Court of Delaware

Brad King, Respondent Below, Appellant/cross-Appellee v. Karen L. Howard, Petitioner Below, Appellee/cross-Appellant

March 15, 2017158 A.3d 878

Summary

The court held that the entire transaction bonus Wife received before the divorce was marital property because she earned it when the company sale closed during the marriage. The possibility that part of the bonus could later be forfeited did not alter its vested marital-property status. The court reversed and remanded for the Family Court to equitably divide the full bonus under the statutory factors.
