Leesa A. Gatton v. Robert D. Gatton
24A-DN-716
Domestic relations without children. Grants in part and denies in part Leesa Garton’s petition for rehearing of the state appellate court’s opinion in Gatton v. Gatton. The court grants the wife’s petition in part and revise the order in part to read as follows: “The trial court gave the parties until November 27 to submit proposed findings. Both parties did so.” And revises to read as follows: “But neither Husband’s nor Wife’s proposed findings mentioned the IRA.” These revisions do not affect the original outcome, the court noted. Also, denies wife’s petition in part that the appellate court should remand so that the trial court can revamp its findings regarding the husband’s pension and award her a greater share of the marital estate. Attorney for appellant: Daniel Borgmann. No attorney listed for appellee.
