Description
1. Kenneth Sidmore appeals from a judgment of divorce seeking reversal of a trial court determination that Barbara E. Decker-Sidmores school loans were marital debt and awarding maintenance. Kenneth contends that the trial court erred in finding that Barbaras school loans were marital debt because said finding is against the great weight and clear preponderance of the evidence. Kenneth additionally argues that the trial courts order of maintenance to Barbara in the amount of $992 per month for four years is in error because the trial court failed to make the necessary findings, because the trial court failed to explain its decision and because the trial courts award goes against the great weight and clear preponderance of the evidence. We conclude the trial court did not erroneously exercise its discretion by finding that the school loans were marital debt. However, we also conclude the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion in its calculation of maintenance because the evidence of record does not support the trial courts determination of the amount of Kenneths unreimbursed business expenses. We therefore affirm with respect to the duration of maintenance, reverse with respect to the amount of maintenance and remand for proceedings consistent with this decision.
