Nelson v. Nelson

Syllabus

In this cross-appeal arising from an action for divorce, Harrison Shelby Nelson (Husband) appeals the family court's final order and final amended order. Melissa Star Nelson (Wife) appeals the family court's order granting Husband's motion pursuant to Rule 60(b) of the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. On appeal, Husband argues the family court erred in (1) finding the parties' property at 6 Judith Street had no mortgage (2) valuing the property at 6 Judith Street (3) finding Husband had a 50% ownership interest in 6 Judith Street (4) valuing parties' property at 109 North Shelmore Boulevard (5) failing to equitably divide the parties' debt (6) including a vehicle owned by Wife's father as a marital asset and the loan to finance that vehicle as a marital debt (7) making numerous findings not supported by the record (8) failing to credit Husband for using the sale of proceeds from an investment property at 18 Reid Street for marital purposes (9) failing to equitably divide the parties' personal property and (10) requiring Husband to contribute to Wife's attorney's fees. In her cross-appeal, Wife argues the family court erred in (1) finding excusable neglect existed to grant Husband's Rule 60(b) motion (2) causing her unfair prejudice by granting Husband's Rule 60(b) motion and (3) failing to find Husband was estopped from seeking relief under Rule 60(b) due to his own bad conduct. We affirm.
