Lopez v. Lopez

Summary

The court affirmed the divorce decree, holding that the district court had authority to distribute community property held in the spouses' revocable inter vivos trust even though the trust was not separately joined. Because both spouses were co-settlors, co-trustees, and beneficiaries, the trust was not a necessary party, and the divorce revoked dispositions between them. The court also upheld the characterization of three properties as community property and affirmed the exclusion of the alleged prenuptial agreement and denial of reassignment.
