Wife was awarded her separate property consisting of stock, part of her life insurance, and her jewelry. Wife was awarded the primary residence with its corresponding mortgage debt. The trial court awarded marital property to Husband and Wife. The trial court also allocated Husband and Wife's debt. Husband's debt was the debt on his Visa bill, an unpaid dental bill, an unpaid roof bill, and an unpaid optical bill.
Husband appeals the trial court's judgment.
In reviewing a decree of dissolution, the decision of the trial court will be affirmed unless there is no substantial evidence to support it, unless it is against the weight of the evidence, unless it erroneously declares the law, or unless it erroneously applies the law. The division of marital property is discretionary with the trial court and we must defer to the court's judgment unless it is an abuse of discretion. We presume the order to be correct, and the party challenging the division on appeal has the burden of overcoming the presumption. A judgment should be set aside with caution and only on a firm belief that the judgment is wrong. In his first point, Husband argues the trial court erred in declaring the primary residence to be marital property and awarding it to Wife.
