Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
Alexander Cooper Komes, Appellant, v. Jason Joseph Grote, Respondent.
Alexander Komes appealed the judgment dissolving his four-year marriage to Jason Grote, challenging the trial court's division of marital property and debt. 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.
