Kyriacou v. Kyriacou

In Kyriacou v. Kyriacou, the appellate court roundly criticizes the trial court. The trial court made an unequal equitable distribution, but in so doing made no mandatory findings relative the statutory factors of 61.075. The only finding that the trial court made was that the parties had an unequal ability (in the Husband’s favor) to earn future income, but that factor, standing alone, does not justify an unequal distribution. Also, the trial court improperly distributed dissipated assets without a finding of wrongdoing. The case is remanded for the trial court to make ALL of the statutory findings and re-distribute the assets and liabilities.
