Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Leslie B. McWilliams, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellant, Lisa Culver.

Attorneys 2:

Sandra J. Bott, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Michael Todd Culver.

Judge(s): SWINEY

This appeal arises from a divorce. After 20 years of marriage, Michael Todd Culver (“Husband”) sued Lisa Culver (“Wife”) for divorce in the Circuit Court for Hamilton County (“the Trial Court”). After a trial, the Trial Court divided the marital estate and granted the parties a divorce. Wife appeals to this Court. We hold, inter alia, that the Trial Court did not commit reversible error in its valuation or division of the marital estate, or in declining to find Husband in contempt. We hold further that the Trial Court erred in adding $500 per month in alleged rental income to Wife’s income for child support purposes. We, therefore, reverse that portion of the Trial Court’s judgment and remand for a new calculation of child support. We affirm, in part, and, reverse, in part, the judgment of the Trial Court.
