Commingling of Marital Property Issues
Savings Account
Respondent was not entitled to a credit on the parties’ savings since his act of commingling his pre-marital savings with marital savings transmuted the funds into marital property. In re Schriner
Traceability
Wife was entitled to have her $9,000 reimbursed from husband’s non-marital estate because such amount was retraceable by clear and convincing evidence and not intended to be a gift. In re Snow
Commingling non-marital property with newly acquired marital property did not transmute the non-marital property into marital property where the amount injected into the marital account was ascertainable and did not result in a loss of identity. In re Landfield
Confidentiality
Disallowing ex-wife’s attorney’s participation in an in camera hearing regarding ex-husband’s claimed credits against trust property was not an abuse of discretion; where ex-wife had fled the jurisdiction with their child, ex-husband did not want to reveal progress of his search for his son to ex-wife’s attorneys. In re Kriegman
