Hatten v. Hatten

How courts have described this case

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

• “[W]e conclude under Bandow that the designation or structuring of damages in a settlement agreement does not control whether the proceeds are separate or marital property.”
• “[I]f the formal structuring of settlement proceeds subsequently controlled their classification as either marital or separate property, then the ‘analytic’ approach [under Bandow] would be meaningless.”
