South Dakota Supreme Court

Steven L. Johnson, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Susan J. Johnson, Defendant and Appellant

May 29, 19911991 S.D. LEXIS 88

Summary

The court affirmed the business valuation, visitation restrictions, and attorney-fee award, but held that the property division required reconsideration because it inadequately accounted for the wife's marital contributions, the parties' earning disparities, and unresolved dissipation and premarital-property issues. The court also required reconsideration of rehabilitative alimony in light of the revised property division and remanded for consideration of the statutory child-support presumption. Justice Sabers, concurring specially, agreed with remand of the property division but would have found the alimony award wholly inadequate in amount and duration.
