Jonathan George Carter v. Elizabeth Jo Browne

Syllabus

Following a bench trial, the trial court entered a final decree of divorce in which it determined that Appellant/Wife was not entitled to an award of alimony in futuro, but awarded Wife alimony in solido and transitional alimony. The trial court further determined that the parties' marital residence was Wife's separate property. On appeal, Wife argues that the trial court erred in denying her alimony in futuro, while Appellee/Husband appeals the classification of the parties' home as Wife's separate property. With respect to the trial court's decision that alimony in futuro is inappropriate in this case, we affirm. However, because we conclude that the trial court erred in classifying the parties' home as Wife's separate property, we reverse in part and remand for further proceedings
