 Farmer v. Farmer, No. 4682, is online

 

Husband appealed from an order of the family court granting him and Wife a divorce on grounds of one year's continuous separation, arguing that the family court erred in finding certain payments he received from his employer to be marital property subject to equitable division. In addition, Husband argued that the family court erred in ordering him to pay Wife's attorneys' fees and costs. The court affirmed. First, the court held that the family court correctly decided to classify the money Husband received as a result of his Termination Agreement as marital property and found that the family court exercised proper discretion in equitably dividing the property. The court also held that the family court exercised proper discretion in awarding attorneys' fees and costs to Wife.
