Heading: Discover card

Text: The trial court did not address the Discover card in Richard's name during its decision on the record or in its findings of fact. In Richard's motion for reconsideration, he claimed the balance of that card was a marital debt. Sheila argued that the balance on this card consisted entirely of post-separation debt and therefore should not have been included in the marital estate. The trial court stated in denying reconsideration that it had not included this debt in the marital estate because it was post-separation debt. However, the official date of the parties' separation in the findings of fact was June 6, 2006, and the statement for the card reflects purchases from May 2006 and includes a substantial previous balance. For that reason, we remand for clarification and further written findings regarding the pre-separation balance on this card.
