Lauro v. Lauro

Summary

The court held that the chancellor did not make the specific findings required to classify and equitably divide the marital estate, requiring reversal and remand of the financial awards. On remand, the chancellor must reconsider alimony, child support, and potentially attorney's fees after properly addressing property division, and must also address medical-insurance obligations. The court corrected the custody judgment to reflect the parties' stipulation, rejected Helen's request for appellate attorney's fees for lack of supporting authority, and denied statutory penalties because the judgment was not unconditionally affirmed.
