Description
PER CURIAM (on motion for rehearing). By the trial courts division of property, plaintiff wife was awarded approximately one half of the aggregate property of the parties. This court considered that this was an excessive proportion to award to her in view of the fact that defendant had a substantial estate of his own at the time of the marriage. The division of property was accordingly modified so as to award plaintiff slightly in excess of one third of the aggregate property. Instead of granting this modification on the ground that the trial courts division constituted an abuse of discretion, the opinion stated that the trial court erred in determining the amount of defendants wealth at the time of the marriage. The error pointed out was the trial courts failure to accept defendants uncontradicted testimony that the value of a paid-up life insurance policy at time of marriage was $6,000.
