Christine Ann Lollar Missouri Cases

Christine Ann Lollar (Wife) appealed the circuit court's judgment dissolving her marriage to Richard Dwain Lollar (Husband) and distributing their marital estate. Wife challenged the award of a 401(k) account to Husband, arguing the court erred in finding she dissipated marital assets by paying debts and bills. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding that even if the dissipation finding was erroneous, Wife was not prejudiced because the overall division of marital assets and debts disproportionately favored her.

Christine Ann Lollar (Wife) appealed the trial court's amended judgment of dissolution of marriage, challenging its child support order and marital property division. The appellate court reversed the trial court's order reducing Husband's child support obligation for a period predating the dissolution petition filing, finding it an abuse of discretion under Section 452.340 RSMo. However, the court affirmed the trial court's division of marital property, specifically the award of Husband's 401(k) account to him, because Wife failed to present evidence of its value. The case was remanded for entry of an amended judgment consistent with the opinion.
