The sole issue for review is whether benefits received by Husband from two disability insurance policies are marital property subject to distribution. The pertinent facts are undisputed.
Husband is a medical doctor, specializing in anesthesiology.
During the course of the marriage, Husband purchased two policies of disability insurance. Each policy provides for waiver of premiums during total disability, and no premiums have been paid since Husband's disability commenced. It is doubtful that Husband will ever be able to return to his employment as an anesthesiologist. The parties also stipulated that all marital property should be divided equally between the parties. The trial court found that all the benefits paid by the two insurance policies to Husband, both before and after the divorce, constitute marital property subject to division.
