South Dakota Supreme Court
Karon J. (anderson) Wilson, Plaintiff and Appellee. v. William (bill) Wilson, Defendant and Appellant
January 11, 19891989 S.D. LEXIS 6
Summary
The court reversed and remanded the divorce decree because the trial court's findings assigned inconsistent values to the marital estate and did not permit meaningful review of the property division. It also required complete reconsideration of the alimony award because the trial court did not separately apply the requirements for rehabilitative and restitutional alimony or make adequate supporting findings. The court denied both parties' requests for attorney fees on appeal because each party should bear those fees.
