Text: Wife urges that the trial court erred by $11,000.00 in the division of other property. Particularly, she points to the $7,000.00 she removed from joint funds at the time of separation and a $4,000.00 gift from the T. Rowe Price account. The trial court included the $7,000.00 in the property specifically awarded to her. At the time of trial, only $444.00 remained from the $7,000.00, the bulk having been spent on family necessities. We find no abuse of discretion in the trial courts' treatment of the $7,000.00. As for the alleged gift, we find no reference to it in the trial court's Order but it appears to have been made from the TRowe Price account (See footnote 1), which was divided equally by the trial court. Testimony of both parties was that she was informed it was a gift for her birthday. Due to either (1) her not spending it or (2) his not putting it into a spendable account, she never enjoyed the benefit of her gift. We believe the evidence shows donative intent, delivery, and acceptance. McSpadden v. Mahoney, 431 P.2d 432 (Okla. 1967). The in kind property division should reflect that $4,000.00 of the $14,000.00 TRowe Price account belongs to Wife as her separate property. The remaining $10,000.00 should be split equally between Husband and Wife. The result is that Wife is entitled to $9,000.00 from the account and Husband is entitled to $5,000.00. The in kind property division is thus modified to award Wife $39,950.00 and Husband $41,575.00.
