Schmidt v. Schmidt

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s equitable distribution of the marital estate and Sarah’s entitlement to alimony. It held that the Family Court reasonably applied the statutory factors, including the length of the marriage, the parties’ income disparity, and Sarah’s role in caring for the family. The Court vacated only the calculation of Mason’s alimony obligation and remanded for recalculation using his net rather than gross income.
