Marriage of Pilz
The trial court entered a judgment dissolving the 14-and-one-half year marriage of Colleen J. Pilz (wife) and Bradford J. Pilz (husband). The judgment also resolved issues concerning characterization and division of the parties' assets, plus child custody and child and spousal support. In this appeal, husband contends the court erred by finding all of the distributions received during the marriage from his separate property vehicle leasing business constituted community property. As a result, he also argues the court erred in finding a community interest in other assets into which those distributions were traced. In addition, husband claims the court erred by finding contributions made to a simplified employee pension plan individual retirement account (SEP IRA) by his other separate property business constituted community property.
Court conclude the trial court properly found the SEP IRA constituted a community asset. But husband's first assignment of error has merit. Thus, we reverse the judgment's property division and remand the matter for further proceedings.
