The trial court valued a marital savings account at its initial higher value, finding Appellant squandered funds, and ordered her to pay Respondent to equalize the marital estate. Appellant appealed, arguing the trial court misapplied the law regarding the burden to account for diminished funds and erred in finding squandering without direct evidence. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the trial court correctly applied the law, Appellant failed to provide a credible accounting, and her challenge to a single asset's valuation was insufficient without challenging the overall property division.","primaryTopic":"divorce","topicSlugs":["divorce","family-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209834","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/leroy-f-gilbert-respondent-v-andrea-d-chrismer-still-appellant-d37929","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: family-law","topic: divorce"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
