In the Matter of James J. Peirano and Sharon L. Larsen

Summary

The court affirmed the divorce, alimony, custody and visitation rulings, the continuation of the restraining order, and the distribution of the marital assets, but reversed the order requiring the petitioner to sell his firearms and remanded that issue. The court held that several constitutional and procedural objections were unpreserved, upheld the alimony, visitation, property-distribution, restraining-order, and fault findings under deferential review, and concluded that federal law barred the petitioner from possessing firearms while the qualifying restraining order remained in effect. It also held that the trial court lacked authority to order the firearms sold when the proceeds were awarded entirely to the petitioner.
