Parks v. Parks
The trial court in this marital dissolution proceeding determined contested property issues following presentation of conflicting evidence. The trial court entered a judgment which, inter alia, determined the former family residence to be the separate property of respondent James Parks (James),[1] denied reimbursement to the community for purported improvements to that residence and for community pension payments received by James, and awarded an investment account to James as his separate property. Appellant Shelley Parks (Shelley) contends that the court committed reversible error in refusing to issue a statement of decision and further erred in its evaluation and legal analysis of tracing separate and community funds relative to the residence and investment account. She also claims that the trial court erroneously denied reimbursements to the community. We reverse and remand to the trial court for retrial of one claim for reimbursement to the community and for correction of a clerical error. In all other respects Court affirm the judgment.
