Graham contended the court erred by not crediting her for a down payment and mortgage payments, and by finding her jointly responsible for a home equity line of credit. The appellate court affirmed, concluding that the circuit court properly found donative intent for Graham's contributions and that the HELOC was a joint debt, deferring to the trial court's credibility findings.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","civil-procedure","family-law","evidence","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=146433","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/carla-e-umland-v-lizabeth-g-graham-d81994","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
