Nancy Johnson Sistrunk v. Carlos Leslie Sistrunk

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the portions of the divorce judgment concerning the marital estate and related financial matters because the chancery court failed to make sufficient findings on the applicable equitable-distribution factors and made several findings unsupported by substantial evidence. The Court remanded for specific findings on each applicable factor and reconsideration of alimony, the disabled adult child’s care, the marital home, disputed assets, and attorney’s fees. The Court declined to decide those issues on the merits because they were affected by the deficient property-division analysis.
