Indiana Court of Appeals
Dele Omije v. Bethany Whilby-Omije
24A-DR-2217
Domestic relations without children. Affirms Hendricks Superior Court Judge Ryan Tanselle’s order finding Dele Omije in contempt and ordering him to sell a marital asset—a home in California—and equally divide the proceeds from the sale of the home with Bethany Whilby-Omije. Finds that because Omije presented no evidence of the post-dissolution expenses he incurred on the California home, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by failing to credit him for any such expenses. Also finds the trial court did not assign any value to the California home and simply ordered Omije to sell the home and split the proceeds evenly with Whilby-Omije. Attorney for appellant: Julie Camden. No attorney listed for appellee.
