Montana Supreme Court
In Re the Marriage of Donald Johnsrud, and and Jeanette I. Johnsrud, and
November 29, 1977181 Mont. 544
Summary
The court vacated the dissolution judgment and remanded because the district court did not first make an equitable division of the marital estate or make the findings required to determine whether additional maintenance was warranted. The court also held that the wife could request attorney fees on remand even though she had not sought them in her pleadings. The court declined to decide the proper amount or duration of maintenance until the property division was redetermined.
