Supreme Court of New Hampshire

In the Matter of Monique D. Aube and Raymond N. Aube

April 3, 2009158 N.H. 459

Summary

The court held that a final property division in a divorce decree is a judgment subject to statutory post-judgment interest and upheld the interest award because the respondent retained the property-settlement funds for more than a year. It also upheld requiring the respondent to pay one-half the value of the petitioner's lost survivor benefit, finding no reversible error in the trial court's implied determination that the parties' mutual mistake justified the result. Finally, the court rejected the claim that the trial court overlooked the respondent's motion to reduce alimony because the record did not support that assertion.
