North Dakota Supreme Court

Kenneth F. Briese, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Florence I. Briese, Defendant and Appellee

October 20, 19821982 N.D. LEXIS 354

Summary

The court affirmed the divorce judgment's equal division of marital property and award of spousal support. It held that the evidence did not leave a definite and firm conviction that either determination was mistaken, emphasizing Florence's homemaking contributions, age, health, education, and limited work experience. The court also declined to modify the property division based on a speculative federal tax consequence outside its jurisdiction.
