Heading: Factual and procedural summary of the Case

Text: ¶ 1. This matter stems from a divorce action in Pearl River County. The parties were granted a divorce and appellant was awarded custody of the minor child of the parties. Husband appealed the chancellor's division of the marital assets and failure to award child support. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the case on the issues of the chancellor's failure to award child support, and the division of the appellant's retirement or pension fund, some of which was earned prior to the marriage of the parties. The Court of Appeals properly determined that Appellee would only be entitled to a division of that portion of husband's retirement earned after the marriage. ¶ 2. The Petition for Writ of Certiorari seeks to also have the issues of the award of alimony, division of personal property, and division of Appellee's retirement account remanded. This last issue having the most merit, will therefore be discussed first.
