Description
Petitioner Patrick J. McManama was respondent in the trial court in a cause of action for dissolution of marriage brought by Gertrude Figura McManama. The sole issue raised in the appeal was whether the trial court erred in awarding Gertrude thirty-six hundred dollars ($3600) in furtherance of the property settlement. The facts showed, without dispute, that both of the parties pursued higher education during their marriage, as well as contributing to the income in the home. Appellee wife performed the homemaking duties as well as contributing a larger share of the income, particularly in the last year of the marriage when the parties moved from Connecticut to South Bend, Indiana. At that time they had six thousand dollars ($6,000) in savings. During that last year, appellee-wife earned fourteen thousand seven hundred and eighty-five dollars ($14,785) and appellant-husband went to law school full time, contributing only twelve hundred and fifty dollars ($1,250) of income. At the time of the separation on August 12, 1976, the only remaining amount in the six thousand dollar savings account was ninety-six dollars ($96) which was retained by appellant-husband, Patrick. Payments for tuition and books for law school for Patrick amounted to thirty-two hundred dollars ($3,200) and a past due bill for Patricks tuition while in Connecticut was also paid after they came to South Bend.
