How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that a spouse \is not entitled to more spousal support than is required to satisfy [their] demonstrated needs\
  • holding that the \family court failed to comply with the second part of the Gordon analysis\
  • holding, inter alia, that husband’s “financial misconduct during the marriage should not have been considered by the family court when deciding whether to deviate from an equal division of marital partnership property in the absence of a finding of extraordinary circumstances”
  • family court’s failure to make adequate findings on the record did not permit meaningful appellate review of family court’s division of marital estate
  • “Each partner’s individual contributions to the marriage, i.e., the values of Category 1 and Category 3, are to be repaid to the contributing spouse absent equitable considerations justifying a deviation.”
  • “[Deviation from the partnership model should be based primarily on the current and future economic needs of the parties rather than on punishing one party for [their] misconduct.”
