Fisher vs. Wing
Docket No. 87698-COA
Carson City – 2:45 P.M. – Court of Appeals
This is an appeal and cross-appeal from an amended divorce decree that unequally divided community property and awarded alimony and attorney fees. Appellant/cross-respondent challenges the district court’s findings that he committed marital waste by using community funds to pay legal fees incurred in the underlying proceedings and by taking a loan against a life insurance policy in violation of a mutual financial restraining order. Appellant/cross-respondent also challenges the omission of certain community assets from the property distribution and the award of alimony. Respondent/cross-appellant challenges the reduction of her attorney fees without appropriate findings and argues that the unequal distribution of property based on the marital waste award should be increased in her favor based on appellant/cross-respondent’s use of community funds to pay his criminal defense attorney.
