Melanie Miller Hollis v. Charles Myers Hollis, Jr.

Syllabus

This appeal concerns a divorce. Melanie Miller Hollis (\Wife\) sued Charles Myers Hollis, Jr. (\Husband\) for divorce in the Chancery Court for Bradley County (\the Trial Court\). After a trial, the Trial Court granted Husband a divorce based upon Wife's inappropriate marital conduct. The Trial Court also divided the marital estate and awarded Wife alimony and child support. Wife appeals, arguing that the Trial Court erred by failing to classify and value as part of the marital estate Husband's \book of business\ from his job as a financial advisor at UBS, a financial services firm. Husband raises separate issues regarding child support, alimony, and the division of the marital estate. Discerning no abuse of discretion or other reversible error, we affirm the judgment of the Trial Court in its entirety. We also remand for the Trial Court to determine and enter an award to Wife of her reasonable attorney's fees incurred on appeal, but only as they relate to issues of child support and alimony.

Judges: Judge D. Michael Swiney, C.J.
