Kelly v. Kelly

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District
Apr 21, 2005
898 So. 2d 1096 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2005)

Opinion

Nos. 5D03-4188, 5D04-2308.

March 24, 2005. Rehearing Denied April 21, 2005.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for St. Johns County, John M. Alexander, Judge.

Nancy N. Nowlis and Barry L. Zisser of Zisser, Robison, Brown, Nowlis Maciejewski, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant.

William S. Graessle of William S. Graessle Associates, P.A., and Hal Castillo, Jacksonville, for Appellee.


In this divorce case, Appellant challenges the trial court's rulings on a variety of issues. We affirm on all but two points: First, the lower court erred in its calculation of Appellant's share of the marital property. Appellant was awarded $858,147.93 as equitable distribution. As Appellee concedes on appeal, the correct equitable distribution award to Appellant, based on the findings of fact made by the trial judge, should have been $963,728.10. Secondly, the lower court never addressed Appellant's contention that the prenuptial agreement was unenforceable due to a lack of full disclosure, duress or undue influence. Although conflicting evidence was presented on this point, the court expressed the view that a resolution of this disputed issue was unnecessary. This was error. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed in part and reversed in part and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part and REMANDED.

THOMPSON, ORFINGER and TORPY, JJ., concur.
