Text: The parties were divorced by family court order dated August 30, 1983. The decree provided for the equitable distribution of the parties' property. Pursuant to the ordered division, the husband was to pay $65,000 directly to the wife within 90 days of the decree. The husband appealed to this Court. This portion of the equitable distribution award was affirmed in Casey v. Casey, 293 S.C. 503, 362 S.E.2d 6 (1987). [1] The husband paid the $65,000 to the wife on July 25, 1988. The wife brought this action, seeking, among other relief, postjudgment interest, pursuant to S.C.Code Ann. § 34-31-20(B) (1987), from August 30, 1983 to July 25, 1988. The family court ordered post-judgment interest, not at the 14% rate dictated in § 34-31-20(B), but at 8 3/4%, pursuant to § 34-31-20(A). The wife appeals.
