John William Owens v. Meredith Elizabeth Owens

Syllabus

This is an appeal of rulings by the trial court in a contentious divorce action. Following a bench trial, the trial court valued the parties' marital assets and divided the marital estate equally. The court awarded the husband the marital home upon his payment to the wife of one-half the combined equity, equal parenting time, and designation as the primary residential parent. The court found that the wife was not entitled to alimony. The wife, inter alia, challenges the trial court's division and valuation of the marital estate, in declining to award her attorney's fees, in awarding the parties equal parenting time, and the designation of the husband as primary residential parent. Having carefully reviewed the voluminous record, we affirm in part and reverse in part.
