The trial court awarded Grote 87% of marital assets, including two homes and a dog, and assigned him 100% of mortgage debt and 95% of credit card debt. The appellate court affirmed, finding no abuse of discretion, as the property division was supported by Grote's pre-marital contributions and Komes' marital misconduct, and the debt division was equitable.","primaryTopic":"divorce","topicSlugs":["divorce","family-law","property-real-estate","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=230275","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/alexander-cooper-komes-appellant-v-jason-joseph-grote-respondent-113243","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce"],"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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
