Supreme Court of Delaware

MacIntosh v. MacIntosh

April 11, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s alimony award and equitable distribution decisions in full. It held that Wife’s clarification motion was substantive because the original order contained an unresolved conflict about the alimony amount, so Husband’s appeal was timely. The Court also concluded that the Family Court acted within its discretion in awarding Wife a retroactive share of the military pension, granting permanent alimony, and dividing the disputed accounts based on equitable considerations.
