Wyoming Supreme Court

Norina D. Paul, Appellant (plaintiff Below) v. Theodore R. Paul, Appellee (defendant Below); Theodore R. Paul…

July 29, 19801980 Wyo. LEXIS 293

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed the divorce decree and property division, concluding that the trial court's valuation of the marital estate was supported by sufficient evidence and that its overall allocation was not a clear abuse of discretion. It also upheld the refusal to impose discovery sanctions, the exclusion of fault evidence, the assignment of a credit-card debt to the wife, the award of attorney fees, and the disposition of furnishings despite the husband's corporate-ownership arguments. McClintock, dissenting, would have ordered a new trial for additional discovery and rejected the trust-fund property settlement and transfer of its corpus to the child.
