Text: After trial, Patricia filed a motion to take additional testimony regarding $19,200 which she claimed existed in IRA accounts John had undervalued and in other accounts which he had failed to disclose and which she had discovered only after trial. She claims it was error for the trial court to fail to rule on her motion or alternatively, not to have included her valuation of these accounts in its calculation of the marital estate based on her post-trial affidavit. The trial court did consider Patricia's motion, but denied it: 17. Other relief or awards as may have been requested before, during or after trial? Considered but not approved. Regarding the accounts Patricia complains were undisclosed, her affidavit was insufficient to alert the trial court to the nature, identity and location of these accounts. Under the circumstances, we cannot say the trial court abused its discretion in denying her motion. The difference between the values of IRAs as assigned by the court and as asserted by Patricia is about $5,200. There was evidence to support the trial court's valuation and we are not convinced a mistake was made.
