Marital Expenditures
Given the income of the family, the family’s style of living could not be financed through any means other than the depletion of the family’s savings, and the husband could not help but have noticed the questioned expenditures from a close corporation of which husband was the sole stockholder; thus, the trial court’s finding that the expenditures were made for marital purposes was not an abuse of discretion. In re Getautas
The expense of a final payment due upon a note which had financed the purchase of a lot could not be included within those ordinary household expenses the parties agreed the husband should pay during the pendency of litigation. In re Rapacz
The circuit court did not err in refusing to consider certain money credits to which husband may have been entitled before entering the instant judgment, namely, reimbursement for one-half the taxes, mortgage payments, and maintenance costs he was required to pay since the divorce, as well as a sum of money the order directed wife to pay him, which was never done, because the foregoing items merely related to setoffs against the amount of her portion of the proceeds of the sale; such matters could be presented and considered after the property had been sold since they did not affect the right to partition the property.
