Description
Trial court erred in characterizing proceeds from a personal injury settlement as marital property and in determining that
the proceeds, if non-marital in nature, should be apportioned. WOZNIAK, Judge David Ward appeals from the decree entered in a marital dissolution proceeding. He challenges the trial court's
division of the proceeds he received in settling a personal injury claim. The trial court characterized the proceeds as marital
property and awarded half to respondent, Patricia Ann Thompson Ward. Appellant also disputes the trial court's finding that,
even if non-marital property, the proceeds should be apportioned to "achieve equity." We reverse.
