Text: In this appeal from the Chancery Court of Jackson County, Mississippi, the Appellant, Betty Jean Carrow (Jean), was granted a divorce from her husband of 29 years, Jimmie Rogers Carrow (Jimmie), on the ground of habitual cruel and inhuman treatment. However, she was not granted an equitable distribution of the couple's property as she had requested. Jean then filed a motion to reconsider which was subsequently denied. Aggrieved by the rulings of the chancery court, Jean filed her notice of appeal, to this Court assigning as error the following: THE CHANCELLOR AWARDED A DIVORCE TO APPELLANT WIFE FROM A 29 YEAR MARRIAGE BUT REFUSED TO MAKE AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION. DOES APPELLANT WIFE'S POST SEPARATION ADULTERY ESTOP APPELLANT WIFE FROM AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL ASSETS?
